Members of the golf team describe assistant coach Sean Ferguson as enthusiastic and instructive.

After graduating last year and playing on the golf team for all four years, Ferguson made the decision to come back and coach the golf players here.

Ferguson currently attends University of Pacific and sometimes finds it difficult to balance both golf and school. “It’s a lot to do. It’s stressful at times, but it’s worth it to be able to come out and help them do the best they can do.”

The golf team recognizes all of Ferguson’s hard work and it definitely doesn’t go to waste for them.

“I learn new skills from him like how to hold the club correctly,” senior Peter Ou said.

The golfers think that it was a great opportunity for Ferguson to come back and they have learned a variety of skills from him this year.

Junior Ramiro Ramirez said, “It’s a great opportunity for him to come back and it’s easier on us. He taught me about posture since I’m taller. It’s helped me a lot.”

That help seems to be making a difference. With a record of 5-3, the golf team has been doing pretty well with Ferguson’s coaching.

The team has always seen Ferguson as a friend, but now they have also learned to respect him as a coach.

“It’s cool because he’s one of my friends but when when we’re on the golf course he’s a coach. I respect him more as a coach,” senior Peter Ou said.

Elliot Miller, senior, appreciates Ferguson coming back to coach and feels like he’s been there since the beginning.

“It’s nice because he’s been there since ninth grade. He never left. He helps me stay focused and improve my game.”

Head golf coach Dannie Offield said that having Ferguson around helps out a lot. He also likes the fact that Ferguson is a college track guy.

“For the players to see him graduate college would be a good picture. I like that he’s math and science educated. He’s pursuing an engineering career, which is valuable for the kids.”

Offield also appreciates how Ferguson is able to give feedback to the players.

“He feels comfortable giving directions and feedback. The team’s successful and winning matches. Golf’s the hardest sport out there.”
