     Golf star Zoe Gale has improved tremendously throughout her final season on the Bay City Central golf team. For Gale, she has always struggled with perfecting the correct technique in order to launch her golf balls.

     But as of this season, Gale has been determined to find the song in her swing. She has been dedicated to the game of golf for three years, not including this current golf season.

     Gale has undoubtedly and whole heartedly done all that she can in order to be an active member of the team. She volunteers to participate in almost every match that she can and tries her best.

     In each match, Gale proves that her hard work pays off and improves her golf score. It is quite impressive on how driven Gale is, she has taken the instruction of her coach and fellow teammates and implemented them in her swing, which has shown incredible results. Not only that, but it is astonishing how positive she is.

     There are moments where Gale makes an unintended shot that many girls on the team can relate to, but instead of throwing a fit or getting discouraged she brushes it off and steps right up to wack the ball again. Gale says “Started from the bottom now were here”, which is absolutely true.

     Overall, it is evident that Gale is an amazing athlete with stellar sportsmanship. She is a one of a kind addition to any team, and can make a positive impact.
