Head Coach - Nicole Christensen
About Me & Golf :
Nicole took lessons at Forest Hills Golf Club throughout her early years and always joined her family out on the course in the summer. In 10th grade she finally made the switch from softball to play for her high school golf program, Forest Lake. She made it to the state tournament with her team, as well as the boys team (which included her brother), her senior year. After high school, she joined the Gustavus Adolphus College golf team while double majoring (Studio Art & Alternative therapy) and minoring in Coaching. Coach Nicole started her coaching career in 2006 but joined the Centennial family in 2023. You could spot her on the golf course, softball diamond, ski hill or on a volleyball court.
She believes that golf needs more females in the sport and that everyone is capable of becoming a good, if not great, golfer with intentional practice. She wants to create a welcoming environment and show that golf can be accessible to everyone. This golf program focuses honesty, effort, friendships, learning, grit and some fun :)
