Buhler Golf

Blessed to have a great set of assistant coaches; our players are luck to have them! Coach Cottam, Coach Smith, and Coach Nichols.

Qualifying the past 2 days; enjoy watching the players compete.

When the weather doesn’t cooperate for normal practice time you wait for daylight and get busy practicing! The mornings are so peaceful.

First morning practice of the year. Love this time of morning on the golf course!

Buhler senior getting some well deserved coverage! Go Macy.

S*K 2026 Golfer to Watch ⛳️

Macy Miller, a 2027 senior at Buhler, returns after qualifying for the 2025 4A state tournament and placing 15th with a 171 (85-86). She has been a consistent regional performer throughout her career, earning third-place regional finishes in 2023 and 2024 before placing fifth individually at regionals in 2025.

Miller has earned AVCTL Division III First Team All-League honors twice and Second Team honors in 2025, while also collecting Hutchinson City Junior Championship titles in 2023 and 2024. She is a multi-sport standout, with additional honors in bowling, softball and cheer. On the golf course, she returns alongside fellow senior Anika Paulsrud as Buhler looks to make a run at a state championship.

“I am excited to bond with my teammates and create relationships with fellow golfers. I am also excited for this season because we have all worked very hard and our team goal is a state championship.”

She has also verbally accepted an offer to play softball at Hutchinson Community College, following in the footsteps of her older sister, who was part of Buhler’s 2019 4A state championship golf team and finished runner-up individually before playing softball at Hutchinson Community College.

Anika Paulsrud, a 2028 junior competing for Buhler, enters the season as one of the top returning golfers in 4A after earning 1st Team All-State and 1st Team All-League honors as both a freshman and sophomore. Paulsrud finished 12th at the 2025 state tournament with a 170 and placed third at regionals. She also won the AVCTL Division III League championship as a freshman and owns a career-best 71 at Hesston Golf Course.

With only one senior graduating from last year’s group, Buhler returns a strong core alongside Paulsrud, including senior Macy Miller and junior Paityn Weber. Paulsrud has spent the offseason focused on becoming a more consistent player and arrives with high expectations for what the team can accomplish.

“I have been looking forward to this season ever since last season came to an end. While I was grateful for the experience, I wasn’t satisfied with how last season ended both individually and as a team. This has motivated me to work even harder and become a stronger, more consistent player. I am very excited to see what this season has in store.”
