Golf

Beaumont’s golf program, developed under beloved Beaumont Athletic Hall of Fame coach Mr. Gary Bill, held its inaugural season in 1997 with 12 members.

Over the years, the program continued to grow and find success on the course. In 2013, the team consisting of Elizabeth Corrado ’16, Jennifer Corrado ’14, Katherine Corrado ’14, Cassandra Heathcote ’14 and Elizabeth Mosier ’14 was the first in school history to qualify for the state tournament in the sport. The quintet ended the tournament with an eighth place finish.

Three Beaumont golfers have reached the state tournament as individuals: Lesley Monachino Bertin ’02 in 2001 (sixth place), Erin Adams ’17 in 2016 (11th place), and Lauren Bangasser ’22 in 2020 (13th place).

Denise Bangasser, Head Coach

Denise Bangasser was named head coach prior to the 2020 season. She played competitive junior golf at the local and state levels and even made an appearance at the Optimist Junior World Golf Championship in La Jolla, California. Bangasser went on to attend Gilmour Academy and played on the boys golf team during the regular season while competing as an individual during the girls postseason tournament. Three straight years, Gilmour’s Valedictorian from the Class of 1990 cracked-the top seven at the girls state tournament. She earned a fifth place finish as a sophomore, placed third as a junior and concluded her career with a seventh place finish in Columbus. After her high school days were over, Bangasser attended the University of Notre Dame and played all four years for the Fighting Irish.

Bangasser returned to letter her senior year while also graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in accountancy. She was named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar Team as a senior at Notre Dame and has since won club championships at two local clubs while continuing to play competitively on a local women’s team.
