FROM HEAD COACH TOM OPPEDISANO
"Well, we were leading through 16 holes - and then we were not. We need to overcome our inexperience and I am confident we will soon. Great job by Pat who had a chance to win individually. We are looking forward to hosting at the park next week to wrap up the fall season."
