The Lisbon girls’ golf team has rolled off three wins this past week with a unique 1-2 punch.

A Mount Vernon senior, Eryn Jackson, and a Lisbon freshman, Kyla Kahl. Jackson averages 44.28 strokes per nine, and Kahl averages 45.65 strokes per nine.

“Both ends of the spectrum, right?” Lisbon coach Andy Kahl said. “Actually. I think of it as a positive. The freshman is kind of learning form the senior. Eryn has bene a great leader and leads by example. It works out really great.”

On Monday, April 28, Lisbon beat Midland, 182 to 249. On Tuesday, April 29, Lisbon beat East Buchanan, 175 to 186. Both were at Kernoustie Golf Course.

Then on Friday, May 2, Lisbon topped Edgewood-Colesburg, 181 to 231, at Woods Edge Golf Course.

Each time, Jackson was medalist. Kahl has been medalist this season, but not this week.

“Kyla is just a hardcore golfer, so that really helps me,” Jackson said. “It keeps me competitive and it keeps me trying to shoot the best I can.

“Also, I’m there for her to help bring her up.” Jackson has stretched the senior leadership skills she learned in volleyball and basketball to golf. She also credits Kaylie Kelchen doing it for her last season.

“I had to step into that role,” Jackson said. “I always try to be positive and if she doesn’t have a great shot, I just tell her ‘You’ve got this; you’re good.’”

That’s part of what has helped Jackson, too, according to Coach Kahl.

“Her consistency is much better this year,” coach Kahl said. “Maybe in earlier years, she’d have a bad hole, and she’d blow up. Now you see less of that. She’s more consistent off the tee, has a better short game and is managing the course better.”

Jackson had she needs to continue to work on her chipping. But sees a big finish for the Lions this spring.

“We’ve been shooting lower and lowers, so it is exciting,” Jackson said.
