What They Are Saying
Wingate men's golf senior Lewis Beeden
 
"What a great week for the team! I am personally very happy I was able to get the victory individually with the help of a personal- and school-record 63 on Monday. The golf course was a great test and it was a thoroughly enjoyable week. It is also really exciting that we are hitting great form as a team going into the postseason. Go Bulldogs!"
