From Head Coach Mic Potter

“We are very excited for the opportunity to compete at this year’s NCAA Regionals. We thought we may be going somewhere further away but we are looking forward to traveling to Palm Beach and competing on a golf course such as PGA National. It’s a course a lot of us are familiar with and have played there. It’s also a place that has hosted numerous big-time tournaments so you can’t fake your way around the course. It’s something we will have to prepare for so we are at our best. We are very pleased and look forward to competing.”
