2022 was a remarkable season. People will say we fell short & we understand. However, for us the pursuit of excellence & unwillingness to accept any excuses is what drives us. For me as a coach - The 13th hole on Friday defines us as a program (my guys will know what I’m talking about). Moving forward our goals will not change. We want to be playing the last day of IHSA with a chance.
Thank you, Coach Norman

This is what we like to see!
Not only do we want these kids to grow as golfers, we want them to be proud to represent Benton.
S/O to the boys for making this program so great.

Snapped this great photo of Kash after a rainstorm. Benton golfers play rain or shine!
Too good not to share.
Have any cool golf photos? Share in the comments!

Practicing shots that you don’t normally attempt is a great way to improve and know when you can pull off when it really matters.
If you routinely practice these kinds of shots, you’ll eventually end up using them in a competition.
It really does make a huge difference!

Happy first day of fall!
Fall serves as a great reminder that we can't control course conditions.
That's why Benton Golfers are all-weather golfers! We have to view it as a challenge to be better, not an excuse.
Check out the Golf Digest article below for some tips on tackling tee time during all kinds of weather conditions. ⬇️

Learn to keep your putter head square and create the proper stroke path. Simply practice with this tool for 15 minutes, 3 times a week, indoors or outdoors.
You’ll be draining those 3, 6, or 10-foot putts in no time!

No matter the day or time, Benton Ranger Golfers always have a place at the Norman house.
It’s not uncommon to see a few golfers out practicing on our backyard putting green, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
