“It’s been a tough start to the season. The weather has not been cooperative and we, like most other teams, have had very little time to actually play outside,” said coach Mike Wenthold. “We’re rusty and I think in showed in this meet. Having said that, Tri-City (Luana) is always a difficult course with challenging par 3s and the wind being a factor. It was nice to get out and play and finally get a good look at some things that we need to work on.”
