Girls Golf MVP Kief is a Trail Blazer

To say that her first set of golf clubs were a far cry of what she currently carries in her bag is an understatement. Still, Morris senior Olivia Kief had to get her start somewhere.

"When I was little, I had a set of giant Snoopy golf clubs that had large plastic heads and the ball was the size of a tennis ball," she said. "I used to hit that in the back yard and in the basement."

This past fall season, she only seemed to be playing with clubs that large as she parlayed her talents into a 48th-place finish at the Class A State Outing held at Red Tail Run in Decatur a little less than a month ago. She ended up with a score of 178 (86/92)  in making Morris history as the first Redskins player ever to participate in a state golf meet.
