PERFORMANCE. THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP DAY. BUT THE LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENT SPEAKS VOLUMES. AND JUST TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE WAS REALLY LIKE. >> REFRESHING AND REALLY, I’M HOPEFUL JUST LIKE WE ACTUALLY CAN DO IT AND WE CAN DO IT
AGAIN. THE TEAM DIDN’T QALIFY FOR LAST YEAR AND HAD 3 PLAYERS ON THE TEAM THAT HAD NEVER EVEN PLAYED GOLF BEFORE. BUT ONCE TE GOLF BUG STRUCK, THE TEAM WOULD 100 STROKES FROM LAST YEAR’S TEAM TO THIS YEAR.

WENT INTO THE POSTSEASON, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT THAT WASN’T NECESSARILY A BAD THING. NOT QUALIFYING FOR CF LAST YEAR. DIDN’T HAVE A LOT OF EXPECTATIONS GOING INTO AND THAT PROBABLY HELPED WE’LL START TO SEE WHAT THE BOYS THE
