ACHS Girls' Golf team coach Ashley Goodin says her new job is "A Calling, Not a Job" - she reflects on her lifelong passion for the sport and the people who nudged her toward this path.

"I've played golf my whole life. I love it," Goodin said. "There wasn't a team at the time, but a parent and our athletic director asked if I would consider coaching. I knew a few of the girls from basketball or their families, and I was excited to be part of developing them.

I also had a great coach myself -- my Aunt Kim."
