Duluth East Golf

Two former hounds golfers playing other Hounds is something we love to see! A full circle moment for all. Congrats to Coach Mellin and former Hounds golfer Mark Anderson! Huge golf clap to former hound Kyle Peterson and our captain Owen Johnsons dad Shane Johnson as well. Great golfers, better humans!

Proud of our current and future Hounds!

Just a shoutout to our amazing coaching staff who led this team with so much heart. There is no season without this group. Early mornings, late nights, long days, and plenty of cold rounds, all for our student athletes and this program. Through every practice, match, bus ride, and moment in between, you showed up and gave your time, your energy, and your mentorship. Thank you for pouring into these athletes and helping shape this team into what it became and is becoming. We are so lucky to have coaches who jump in, help in any way they can, and bring so much to the table. We are so grateful!

Grant Faherty (SR) closed out his season and career as a Greyhound with an even par 72 at Bunker Hills at the 2026 State AAA Tournament, highlighted by two clutch up-and-down saves on 17 and 18, finishing 27th in the state for AAA. We even made our way over to Ridges at Sand Creek to support our up north teams at state, making it a great couple days of golf all around.

Grant has been a Greyhound for 5 years and has shown dedication, persistence, and humility every step of the way. Our coaching staff and community are so proud of him and everything he’s poured into this program.

Next up, Grant is headed to play college golf at Carthage Men's Golf, and we can’t wait to follow what’s ahead for him.

Russel is on his way up

We ended the year with a small team get together! Bucket golf and bags with some Sammy’s pizza.

Next stop - Bunker Hills for State with Grant Faherty!

Cheers to a great year and a better group of kids. We’re already looking forward to next year.

Some of our coaches and former players had a great weekend at the RCC Member Member. Love seeing Hounds out on the course, competing, connecting, and still representing East so well. It’s special to watch past and present come together around the game and continue building what makes this program so strong. Once a Hound, always a Hound.

Our season has been a whirlwind. Mother Nature had us starting in simulators, handing out over 100 handwarmers along the way, to passing out electrolytes at Sections because of the heat. We have been running on Kwik Trip breakfast sandwiches, Glazer donuts, Uncrustables, Mambas, Diet Coke, and our love for the game.

In between the golf rounds, the van rides, and early morning practices in 36 degree weather, there have been so many incredible moments, moments filled with laughter, tears, more laughter and the kind of frustration that only comes with caring so deeply about the game and your team.

These student athletes pour their heart and soul into a 2 month chaotic season, all while trying to finish homework in the van on 2 1/2 hour trips to compete. Our coaching staff is so proud of this group, their commitment, and the respect they show for the game.

To our supporters, moms, dads, siblings, grandparents, neighbors, friends, and even Olympic medalist curlers who spent time with our team, thank you. Thank you for believing in us and showing up day in and day out.

As we look ahead and continue to grow our program, we recognize the strong foundation we stand on, the dedication it takes, and those who were in our shoes before us.

To Hoagie, Erik Priley, and Kailee Olson, the impact you have left on our coaching staff lives on daily. We will always honor you, whether it is a ribbon on our bags or a hot dog at the turn. Your legacy is with us.

From a very proud coach, Kaitlin Zenner

Congrats to our own Grant Faherty on his state qualification! With a 70 and 74 at Grand National in Hinckley. We are so proud of you! 🐾
