Coach Thurmond on Darren:

“Darren has a great natural feel for the game. He has very high expectations that push him to keep improving all the time. He is really good with his short irons and pitching. As he controls his misses a little better and makes quicker adjustments on the course he will take his game to another level.”

Coach Thurmond on Chris:

“It is great to have Chris back, and he is better than ever. He has a new perspective and matu-rity that allows him to stay very level-headed in competition. That has brought more consis-tency to his game. He has a swing that really repeats and he rarely misses the center of the clubface. He showed an ability to win at the Husky Invitational and an ability to go low at the Prestige. At Corde Valle he showed he can hang in there when conditions are tough and the game isn’t sharp. He is looking really good and I just love the energy he brings to the team.”

“Kevin is playing with new confi-dence this year. I’m so proud of the progress he has made from last year. He works so hard and competes with everything he’s got. This Fall he played some excellent rounds when the team most needed him. His swing continues to improve and his ability to score comes with that. And he is an amazing ping pong player.”

Coach Thurmond on Tze:

“Choo knows how to play golf. Frankly, he hasn’t been playing very well, but he still can get it around and into the hole. As he sharpens up some things in his game this Spring, he will really take a step up in performance. He can hit the ball very consis-tently off the tee. He has settled in nicely this year and I think we’ll see great things from him in the Spring.”

Coach Thurmond on Ty:

“Ty brings a wonderful positive energy to the team. He hits the ball straight and works hard. Now that he is settling in he will see his game really develop a lot. He has high expectations and learns quickly. His entire game is solid and with just a little sharpening he will shoot lots of good scores.”

Coach Thurmond on Jens:

“It is rare for a freshman to have enough confidence to finish 3rd in their first event. Jens has that confidence. He hits the ball so far and is solid in the rest of his game. He loves to compete. If he can control his misses and just control his ball flight a little better he can be great.”

Coach Thurmond on Dylan:

“Dylan really can hit the ball well. He played a great round at the Husky Invitational that showed what he can do. The future is bright for him as he learns more about managing the course and his game and makes more putts.”
