FROM COACH MANN
“We have had time to get in some very good practice and qualifying since our last event. I am hopeful that the practice and low qualifying scores will give the team confidence and momentum going into the ACC's. Sedgefield is a great Donald Ross course demanding precision and patience especially around the greens. I am confident in this team and its ability to put together three solid rounds this weekend..”
