FULTON- The William Woods Women’s Golf Team is fresh off a first place finish in the William Woods Spring Invitational last week. See how one golfer’s dad plays a big role in her game.

Ceanne Kressig holds all the Salisbury High School records and all of them at William Woods.

The senior is the reigning AMC Player of the year. She’s won six individual titles during her career and she didn’t golf until her sophomore year in high school.

"For probably two or three years my dad kept telling me to play golf and I just kept resisting and finally after my freshman year I decided to pick up the golf club and fell in love with the game and still playing today," said Kressig

Kressig has a special relationship with her dad, he’s also her teacher.

"I began teaching her the basic fundamentals of golf and we started from there...She caught on very quick, her first year she exceeded all of my expectations and Ceanne has continued to prove each and every year in the 7 years she has been playing golf," said Ceanne’s father, Fred Kressig.

And a brother is following her footsteps at Salisbury, earning All-District honors his first three years.

You may remember him from KOMU 8’s Friday Night Fever last fall making a behind-the-back catch.

But for Ceanne, she credits her dad for getting her to where she is now.

"Especially on putting, he can tell me to open my putter or close it just like that and I'll make 'em and I don't even know who else would help me as much as what he would...Even when I have a problem today, I give him a call and he comes right to school, probably the next day to help me with my golf game," said Kressig.

"She has really evolved as a golfer, I can see all of the hard work she has put in and,  it meant a lot," said Fred Kressig.  

Kressig and the rest of the Lady Owls are back in action this weekend when they tee off in the Missouri Spring Invitational in Marshall.
