The Roaring Rise of Florida State University Women’s Golf: A Championship Contender
Welcome to the heart-pounding world of Florida State University Athletics, where grit, excellence, and a commitment to success come together to create a powerhouse: the No. 3 ranked Florida State Women’s Golf team. Under the expert guidance of Head Coach Amy Bond, this squad is gearing up for a thrilling postseason as they prepare to compete at the ACC Championships at the stunning Sedgefield Country Club from April 16 to April 19.
H2: Guiding Principles for Success
Experience, Focus, Drive, and Consistency—these four principles are the foundation of Coach Amy Bond’s coaching philosophy, driving her team towards greatness. “This is really the fun part of the year,” Bond expressed with enthusiasm. “You don’t have to be good in September, but you have to be good in April and May. We are genuinely excited about where the team is trending right now. It’s time, and they are ready.”
H3: Stellar Performance Leading into Postseason
Since the beginning of the season, the Seminoles have shown remarkable progress. Starting with a runner-up finish at the Folds of Honor Collegiate in September, they have finished in the top four in every tournament this year, culminating in a breathtaking run of five consecutive stroke play victories. Among their impressive titles are:
- The Landfall Tradition
- The Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club
- The Moon Invitational
- The Briar’s Creek Invitational
- The Florida State Match Up
H4: Individual Triumphs Propel Team Success
Not only has the team shined collectively, but individuals have also wowed on the golf course. In eight events this season, a Seminole has clinched the individual championship seven times!
Junior All-American Mirabel Ting has become a beacon of excellence, racking up a career-high five tournament victories this season alone. With six wins in total at Florida State, she is on the cusp of breaking the all-time record for individual victories in the program’s history as she heads into the 2025 ACC Championship.
Lottie Woad, also a Junior All-American, has claimed medalist honors at both the Landfall Tradition and the Moon Invitational. With both Ting and Woad securing the top spots in collegiate rankings, the anticipation grows for their performance in the upcoming championships.
H2: A Challenging Path Ahead
With the ACC Championships featuring a competitive field including Stanford—the reigning No. 1 team—it’s a high-stakes environment ripe with challenge. Bond remarks, “This is our first time going stroke play-match play, and it will be crucial for us to advance.” The top six teams will progress to match play, making every single round count.
H3: Consistency in the Lineup
Another key advantage for the Seminoles? Their consistency in the lineup. Bond has stuck with her strongest combinations, fielding a formidable team of All-Americans Woad and Ting, alongside promising freshmen Sophia Fullbrook and Kaylah Williams. Fullbrook’s ability to maintain par, coupled with Williams’s veteran experience, positions the team for success in the postseason.
"Let our horses run," Bond says, confident in her athletes’ abilities. Woad adds, “This has been the most consistent team we’ve had so far, with a lot of wins scattered throughout.”
H2: The Road to Glory
As they head into the ACC Championships, the Seminoles are poised for a historic showing. The excitement is palpable, with players and coaches equally thrilled at the prospects ahead. Woad aims to be the first Seminole to earn individual championship honors, while the team collectively looks to capture their first ACC Championship title.
