Earlier this week Katie (who has made it to the state tourney the last two years - district champ her freshman and junior years) sat down and talked about her search for the right school.In middle school I played a bunch of different sportsto see which one I wanted to continue with and I picked golf, Story said.So I quit everything else except for golf to focus on it during high school, and I wanted to play college golf. I didnt know where as a freshman but I wanted to get better to see where I could possibly go.All in the FamilyWhile golf is something of a family tradition with Katie  her younger brother Jack also competes on the Cougars golf team and her father Brad Story was the golf pro at GreyStone and at the former Dickson Country Club  she said she wasnt persuaded to pick any sport in particular.I played a lot of team sports and Im really competitive and Id rather just be able to blame myself because its only me if I play bad at golf instead of the team, she explained.Its been a long journey for Story. The first time she picked up a golf club was around the age of four and the sport has been a part of her life ever since, watching her father go off and compete and win various tournaments in and out of Tennessee.It wasnt until middle school that she began to take the Mbt Sko Norge sport seriously.You can go out and practice by yourself and its peaceful.

With golf, you have to make a swing video to send to themthen theyll email you back and you can tell them your tournament schedule so they can come and watch you.But as a junior you can only email and then in September of your senior year is when they can start calling you. Its kind of a weird process because you cant actually talk to the coaches face-to-face until youre a senior, so if they come to watch you, sophomore or junior year, they can watch you but they cant say anything to you.For Story the decision finally came down to what all college athletes are looking for  the Salvatore Ferragamo Shoes right combination of the right academic program, the right athletic program and the right financial aid package.
