The University of Kentucky Women’s Golf program has recently signed three exceptional golfers during the early signing period. Head coach Golda Borst made the announcement on Wednesday, revealing that C.A. Carter from Lexington, Kentucky, Elin Pudas Remler from Gothenburg, Sweden, and Raleygh Simpson from Kerrville, Texas, will join the team in the fall of 2024.
Coach Borst expressed her excitement about the incoming class, stating, “We have a really strong class coming in next fall, and it’s a group that we are very proud of. It’s a diverse group of players from near and far, who all bring something different to our team. I think Big Blue Nation will love what they all bring to the table. We have big shoes to fill within the Kentucky women’s golf program in the years to come, and I know that these players, along with our returners next season, are ready for that task and more!”
C.A. Carter, a native of Lexington, Kentucky, has been a standout player for the Lexington Christian Academy golf team. In her senior season, she helped lead LCA to the 2023 Regional Championship title and the 2023 Semi-State Team Championship title, where she also won the individual title. Carter was also named a 2023 All-State First Team selection. She has also excelled on the American Junior Golf Association, Kentucky Jr. PGA, and Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour circuits, earning several medals along the way.
Coach Borst spoke highly of Carter, saying, “C.A. has been a Wildcat since she could walk, so we are thrilled to have her join our Kentucky women’s golf family. She has such a passion for Kentucky, the game of golf, and our team. I know she will be a great addition to our program!”
Elin Pudas Remler, hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, has had an impressive golf career in her home country. She played on the Filbornaskolan High School golf team, helping them achieve silver finishes at the Swedish National School Team Championship in both 2022 and 2023. Pudas Remler has also performed well on various circuits, including the LET Access Series, Junior Masters Invitational, and European Ladies’ Amateur. She is ranked as the third junior golfer in Sweden and 258th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.
Coach Borst expressed her excitement about adding Pudas Remler to the team, stating, “We are so excited to add Elin to our team next year! She will bring a high level of international experience to the Bluegrass, and I believe she will make an immediate impact in our program. From the moment I got to see Elin play, I knew I wanted her to play at Kentucky, so I am looking forward to Big Blue Nation getting to see her in action, too!”
Raleygh Simpson, a native of Kerrville, Texas, is a highly accomplished golfer from Tivy High School. Throughout her high school career, Simpson has earned nine individual titles and has been recognized as a three-time All-District First Team selection, a two-time All-Region First Team selection, a two-time state qualifier, and an All-Area San Antonio Team pick. She has also competed on various golf circuits, including the Texas Junior Golf Tour, Southern Texas PGA, Larry Joe Taylor, United States Golf Association, and Texas Golf Association circuits.
Coach Borst had high praise for Simpson, stating, “Raleygh is another great addition to our team. She has all the intangibles that we look for in our recruits, and she’ll be a great competitor for our team. Raleygh is a hard worker, including in the classroom, she is a great student, so we are fortunate to have her join our team!”
The University of Kentucky women’s golf program is excited to welcome C.A. Carter, Elin Pudas Remler, and Raleygh Simpson to the team in the fall of 2024. They are expected to make significant contributions and continue the strong tradition of the program.
