Quoting Head Coach Steve Bradley
"We've had a good couple of weeks of practice. The guys are playing well, making a lot of birdies, and are confident. One of the cool things about the Windon Memorial tournament is that they rotate courses every year, so this will be a new course for all the teams. From our research, it looks like this course will yield a lot of birdies, something that suits us. Looking forward to the challenge and excited to compete."
