Volleyball All-American Natalie Ring has first hole-in-one
Former Marquette volleyball All-American Natalie Ring scored her first hole-in-one while golfing with her family.
It has been a momentous few months for Natalie Ring. The former Marquette All-American volleyball player was back in Milwaukee in early May to receive her undergraduate degree, and the 6-foot-1 outside hitter has been focused on the next step in her career with Texas A&M after transferring to the reigning national champion in December for her final season of NCAA eligibility. Amid those dramatic life changes, she has been back home in Madison for a brief window, meaning she gets to spend time doing normal family activities, which for the Ring clan includes rounds at Nakoma Golf Club.
That led to another core memory for Ring in May when she recorded her first hole-in-one while playing alongside her father, Joe, who won six WIAA championships in 18 years as golf coach at Madison Edgewood High School. “We played a lot growing up,” Ring told the Journal Sentinel. “My sister and I both did Junior Golf ...
and a lot is a relative term. “My dad was a big golfer. He golfed at the University of Wisconsin, and then he played professionally for a while down in Florida, attempting to make it on tour.
So he's a huge golfer. And my mom golfs, obviously not quite at the same level, but she's really good. ” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nakoma Golf Shop (@nakomagolfshop) Natalie Ring aces 137-yard seventh hole at Nakoma Like any good golf story, this one starts with shaking off a few shanks.
