Coach
Jim Halverson said the first day would have to be described as
rugged as the girls hit the ball well until it was time to putt. “The
greens were faster, more undulating and intimidating. We had a lot of
three and four putt greens and their scores showed it,” said
Halverson.
After
the first day the girls were in 6th
place. The coach said the team had a two hour putting practice at the
hotel.
“On
Tuesday, the girls came out firing. They hit the ball well most of
the time. The putting was a lot better,” said Halverson.
The
coach said he was proud of the girls as they did battle.
