What They Are Saying
Wingate head men's golf coach JD Lamm
 
"The men have gotten off to a good start this semester with a lot of the hard work in the off season showing in the tournament performances so far. We know that we need to stay
motivated and disciplined in off weeks with practice and qualifying to be ready for the next
tournament at Caledonia. I'm excited to see what this team can do for the rest of the season,
building from the first two events."
 
Wingate freshman student-athlete Brandon Skidmore
 
"It was another great week for the team to finish second in the field competing shows what this team is capable of this season. Likewise, I'm happy with where my game is…but I will continue to work towards contending as much as possible. I'm confident in the team that we can compete in this level of field for the remainder of the season and into the NCAA postseason."
