CLUBHOUSE CHATTER
"It's great to start the spring season with three consecutive under-par rounds. We learned a lot about where our game is now and know there's room for improvement throughout the season. Proud of the way players bounced back with birdies and look forward to what we will achieve this spring."
-- head coach Joanne Berglund
