Washougal golfer shares passion for sport with father, teammates

Nearly every time Kallie Sakamoto steps onto a golf course — whether it’s playing practice rounds together, or swinging for the Washougal golf team, where her dad helps out as an assistant coach — it’s a chance for the Washougal High golfer to spend time with her father, David Sakamoto.

On Monday, April 9, David followed his daughter’s foursome around Orchard Hills Country Club in Washougal, as the Panthers hosted Black Hills High School from Tumwater, Washington. Kallie started a bit slow, with bogies on the first and second holes. However, after a birdie on hole three, she never looked back, posting a nine-hole even-par round of 35.
