Single girls golfer representing well

Burlington School News

 

April 15, 2022

Teddier Hooker, Burlington junior, has done well as the sole female golfer in Burlington's first year of girls golf.

Burlington has a girls golf team for the first time this year. The sole participant is junior Teddie Hooker. Teddie has been playing golf since the eighth grade. She played in Olive, Oklahoma, and for two years at Lindsay, Oklahoma.

So far this year, Teddie has placed in three of the four meets she has played, all of which had a field of around 50 competitors. She placed third in Alva, fourth at Meadowlake and sixth at Hennessey.

Teddie will compete in the Regional Qualifier on Tuesday, April 19th, where the top six individuals will move forward. She feels a little pressure being the only female golfer in the history of Burlington. She would like to qualify for state. As a sophomore, Teddie qualified for state in 3A. However, she says that qualifying in 2A is a bit more challenging because there are more private schools in 2A.

Her golf coach at Burlington is her dad, Coach Shawn Hooker. She said that he has been coaching her for so long that they are pretty good at not crossing lines. Teddie said he knows what he is doing and she has yet to beat him at golf, but she will continue to try.

Regarding her future in golf, Teddie would continue playing in college if she were to receive a good scholarship to help continue her education.
