Before the Girls State Golf Tournament over the weekend, it was announced that Marshalltown Bobcat Girls Golf Coach, Lucas Johnson, was being awarded the Golden Plaque of Distinction from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
Coach Johnson shares that he has been apart of the Iowa Girls Advisory board for golf.
He says the key to continuing to have a solid program is getting the youth excited about the sport at a young age. He has tried to expand golf to the Middle School in Marshalltown and that success is showing at the high school level. Natalie Henson earned 3rd place at state this past weekend and was a 4 time state qualifier, now 3 time state medalist.
