“The Hootie at Bulls Bay is one of our favorite events of the year,” head coach Brian Craig said. “The golf course is unique in the challenges it presents and this year’s field is particularly strong. We took a nice step forward on our spring break trip and need to continue to improve. The key, as always, will be to focus on what we can control and let go of the rest. This team has talent and I can’t wait to see it come out like I know it will.”
