After losing their first two matches of the season, Courtney Vogel’s 36 helps lead the Breakers back into the win column, with a 255-296 victory over North Monterey County at the Pacific Grove Golf Links on Wednesday afternoon. [09-30-15]
Playing three matches in three days was grueling on the girls, especially after playing their first two matches against undefeated Santa Catalina and RLS. The Breakers made it work however, with a solid day. Improving to 5-2 on the season.
“We’re definitely better than last year,” senior Ashley Aguilera said about the main difference from last season. “Adding Courtney [Vogel] has obviously helped, but me and Hayley [Yukihiro] have stepped up our game. We both used to be in the lower 50’s, but now we’re in the 40’s.”

Hayley had a few birdies on her day, leading her to a 41.
Pacific Grove’s new girl, Courtney Vogel, has been a big boost for the Breakers so far this season. “She’s not only helped us get better,” Aguilera said. “But she’s inspiring”
Last year, while living in Sacramento, Courtney made it to state and has her eyes set on the prize again this year. “I just want to end my senior year on a good note and work towards that goal,” Vogel stated about making it back to state and trying to win it.
Vogel is also really excited to be in a different environment. “Moving here from Sacramento is a huge life change for me and the weather is a lot different. Being able to come here is definitely an honor. I’m very thankful to be here and the golf environment is definitely fitting for me because it’s more competitive. I’m loving every moment out here.”
