Golf (Girls)

Since about 1970 Deerfield has had a very successful record in golf. We have traditionally fielded two teams in the spring, varsity and junior varsity. Each team consists of six students and matches normally follow a stroke play format with the best five scores counting out of six. While most of the present members of the program are boys we encourage girls to become involved as well. Our schedule is a challenging one with matches against schools such as Hotchkiss and Taft and college teams such as the Williams College J.V. The varsity team plays in two major tournaments each year, with 20 or more schools competing in each.

Deerfield golfers practice on the Crumpin-Fox golf course, a relatively new layout designed by Robert Trent Jones and ranked in the top 100 new courses in the U.S.A. by Golf Digest magazine. For more information contact coach Nicholas Albertson at nalbertson@deerfield.edu.

After graduating from Brown University with a degree in American Studies, Nick Albertson taught history for five years at Jacksonville Episcopal High School in Jacksonville, FL, before joining the Deerfield faculty in 1978 as a member of the History Department. He has served as a college advisor for 32 years, and earned an MA in Liberal Studies from Dartmouth in 1984. Nick's three daughters are proud graduates of Deerfield, and he cross-country skis and plays paddle tennis with them at every opportunity.

Nick also coaches golf and football. He coached Deerfield’s golf team to its first undefeated season in 2005 and again in 2006. The group posted an 11-0-1 record over the course of the spring and won the Kingswood-Oxford Tournament at season's end. In 2000, the squad also won that tournament.
