Tallulah Falls School has named Hannah Satterfield its new head golf coach. She previously held the middle school head coach position at TFS. Satterfield was a standout golfer at the high school and college level, playing at nearby White County High School and Truett McConnell University.
Satterfield has taught sixth-grade science at TFS middle school since 2019 and has led the middle school boys and girls golf program. She inherits a varsity girls program fresh off a state runner-up finish as well as an area championship.
The girls golf team graduates a pair of Division-I golfers in Brinson Hall (Troy University) and Maggie Jackson (Wofford College). The team does return rising junior Hannah Lundy, who improved a great deal during her sophomore season.
“I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to be head of the golf program at Tallulah Falls School,” Satterfield says. “I look forward to coaching at the high school level.”
Satterfield says that while the school graduated two “phenomenal players,” she’s hopeful for the program’s future.
“Although both the girls and boys high school teams will be young, my vision is to continue to build the program and create opportunities for each player to be the best they can be.”
In addition to Lundy, several incoming freshmen will round out the girls team — Ella Akers, Madeline Martin, and Mallory Higgins. On the boys side, upcoming freshman Jedd Thomas plans to compete at the high school level.
TFS Athletic Director Scott Neal says Satterfield’s experience and success in the sport, as well as her familiarity with TFS and the young up-and-coming talent, make for a perfect fit.
“Coach Satterfield certainly has the knowledge, passion, and expertise to lead our golf program. She pursues excellence, is strong in community relations, has a distinct balance between inspiring and challenging her golfers, and clearly wants to lead a great golf program,” says Neal. “She has a vision for the program, the character to see it through, and the initiative and resourcefulness to develop golfers who excel, lead and make a difference in society.”
Satterfield was a three-sport athlete at White County, competing in golf, softball, and basketball. While pursuing her degree at Truett McConnell, she was a member of the golf team that had many record-breaking seasons.
