We certainly appreciate the listen.

So excited to talk this this week's guest.

The head girls and boys golf coach at Woodbridge High School here in Southern California.

One of division championship last season. The coach of the year in 2025. He is currently right now going through the Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration program at Concordia University Irvine.

So we'll get into that as well.

He is Andrew Parker and he joins us now. Andrew, how you doing? I'm great. Thank you guys so much for having me. I'm excited to be on. Absolutely. So where are you guys at with the golf program? Are you at the driving range a couple days of the week? What's going on right now in the fall as far as the golf program is concerned? Yeah, we're currently in the girls season right now. The girls are battling for a league championship. So we play Portola. We're number two. They're number one. So we play them on

Thursday tomorrow. And if we beat them, we get a share of the league championship. And then we

have league finals the following week.

And everything's kind of picking up. It moves from a nine hole to an 18 hole for CIF.

So it's really kind of that fun time of this season.

So girls go in fall. The boys play in this spring. So I imagine that keeps you busy all year

around. When do you guys start up for the fall and the girls?

Do you guys start back during the summertime in preparation for the season?

Yeah, we start in early August.
