Coach Comments- While we return 6 out of our 9 golfers, there is still a “rawness” to the team. We are looking to replace last year’s number 1 with a group of student-athletes who are working hard to develop their game. After clawing out 7 wins last year while replacing 5 seniors from 2022, this group looks to create their own history and complete around the area.
