Family, friends, teammates and supporters gathered near the ninth green of the Florida Keys Country Club’s golf course on Nov. 28 to watch one of Marathon’s top local talents declare his official intentions to continue his career at the next level. As the Dolphins’ unquestioned top golfer throughout the season – and one of the premier talents in the Keys – senior Fisher Coleman-Sayer fielded nearly 20 college offers before signing a National Letter of Intent to play for Division 1 Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
“I’m just really excited to compete at the highest level,” said Coleman-Sayer, noting that while the team enters high-level competitive tournaments, he felt the small size of Mount St. Mary’s campus and student body would set him up for success, coming from a small Keys community. “They’re playing in big tournaments all over the country. … I’m just looking to give myself the chance to elevate my game as high as it can go with the help of others.”
In addition to crediting his parents Maggie and Mary “MP,” the latter of whom has also served as his coach at MHS for several years, Coleman-Sayer thanked his grandparents, teammates and friends willing to compete with him on the course, offering a special shout-out to swing coach Brad Luebchow.
“(Luebchow) has really changed my mental game and my physical game,” he said. “It was completely instrumental; I wouldn’t be here without him.”
