The Farmington High’s girls golf team is being led this season by Kate Dewsnup and Claire Norton as the Phoenix are in rebuilding mode.

“They are our more experienced players and are doing pretty well this year,” said head coach Stephanie Belnap. “We have a few girls that have lots of potential and hope that they will work hard and help us in years to come. We have lots of new girls to the game that are enjoying learning and growing.”

In the first Region 1 tournament this season at Remuda March 21, Dewsnup shot a round of 84 while Norton had an 89 to lead the Darts to a fifth-place finish as a team.

On April 9 at Glen Eagle, Dewsnup’s round of 18 resulted in a score of 86 and Norton had a 90 to both again finish among the region’s top 12 individual golfers. The Darts placed fourth.

“We have fought weather like we always do and have only finished two of our four scheduled tournaments,” said Belnap. 

Also on the FHS squad this season are seniors Kenzie Baron and Brooke Belnap along with Ellie Baugh, Brinklee Bradshaw, Stella Chappell, Sophie Clegg, Paisley Gibb, Carrington Hendry, Kylie McKeown, Avery Rice, Caroline Rigby, Ruby Starling and Gigi Tapia.

“We have a great group of girls that are so fun to be with,” said coach Belnap. “They have such positive attitudes and always have smiles on their faces. 

Davis is also scheduled to play at The Barn April 15, Davis Park April 25 and Valley View April 29 before a two-day Region tournament at Lakeside May 2 and Eagle Mountain May 7. The 6A state tournament will be played at Soldier Hollow May 20-21.

“This is a really fun team and we look forward to a large number of girls working hard in the summer and off season and coming back and helping in years to come,” said coach Belnap.
