Straight from the Clubhouse
Head Coach Tom McCurdy
"This tournament is a great opportunity for us to improve our national ranking. There are 22 teams in the field and most of them are from the East region, so performing well here could prove to be huge for us. The course is very tight with many forced carries over water and three holes that are next to the beach, so the wind will be a big factor.
