We had a small group last year, with seven kids. This year we have six, but it's a tight-knit group. Some of these kids are inexperienced, so hopefully by the regional tournament we will be able to compete for a team title.

I will have a good idea of where we are after the first meet. We can start building on that first meet.

The tournament was well run. The kids were treated very well, and the course was in great shape. It was very challenging. I don't think the scores show how talented the players were and how tough the course was.

Yesterday, Ryan had one bad hole and shot an 80. Today, it was two bad holes, but an 82 is still good. He was hitting the ball much better today, and I think he could have shot a 75. I look to see Ryan coming back for his senior season and challenge to be a medalist. He showed his talent today.
