THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH AMANDA SMITH: "It was a great experience getting to play a tough course last week to help us prepare for this upcoming event. I believe it is great to have back-to-back events because it keeps all the positives fresh in the mind and small adjustments ready to be taken care of. We established as a team that our lag-putting and scoring clubs are ultimately part of what can make our program better. This upcoming event will be another addition to everything these ladies have learned thus far and I am excited to see how they embrace the challenge."
