Good afternoon,
My name is Steven McNickle and I’m excited about the opportunity to be the Girls golf coach this upcoming season. I look forward to meeting everyone soon.
Here’s a little about me and my coaching philosophy:
For the past 4 years, I’ve been coaching the middle school golf teams at Patriot oaks and Valley Ridge which covered all skill levels. Personally, I’ve been an avid golfer for many years and played all over the US & Europe. I’ve gone through several coaching clinics to not only improve my game but to be able to transfer that knowledge to my players.
My goals are to provide you a solid foundation to improve your mental focus on the course along with the swing aspects of the game . I put a heavy emphasis on the short game where a majority of strokes are gained or lost. If you have a desire to play beyond high school, I will work hard to help you achieve your goals to the best of your ability.
I will be sending out more information in the coming weeks, but feel free to reach out to me through email, text & even call 😀 if you have any questions.
Lastly, If you plan on returning to the team this upcoming season, the enrollment information is located on the school website.

Calhoun, a tight end, who has over 25 offers from FBS schools, caught two TD passes.The Knights’ offense did not turn the ball over and the defense held the Blue Devils in check.“The most encouraging thing was the defense,” McIntyre said. “We gave up just one long run.”
