What a difference a couple of days make! Home course and better weather conditions were contributors. We had a number of personal bests: These are the lowest scores in competion for Cara Hach, Natalie Ketchen and Katie Lovell. Erin Randall tied her lowest score. This is the lowest V-S team score since 2008. We reduced penalty strokes and putted much better than Tuesday. Liz Moen had low putts: 17.

I was very pleased and proud of these girls. They have been intent upon improving their games and scores. I shuffled our lineup and they all hung in there and played their own game. They were focused tonight, but I observed them enjoying the game and the competitors they were playing with.

Next week’s schedule: Jesup Monday at Wildcat, Shellsburg. Tuesday we host another quad at Vinton Country Club. Saturday, April 21 we play at the Benton Invitational at Tara Hills.
