"It was a tough day to try and get mentally focused and prepared to play competitive golf. It wasn't certainty that we would even be able to get the round in today and our guys just were not able to get back into the right mind set to match their focus from day one. Golf is very much a mental sport and if you don't get completely focused and prepared for the round, it is going to be a very long day." said Coach Weber. "I was very proud of the way Jacob came to play and finished the tournament while showing his true potential and I hope it catapults him forward for the rest of the year. I was also very impressed with Collin this weekend. He has put in a lot of work and it is starting to show with some good scores. The guys did a lot of good things and we will definitely have some positive things to move forward with but they also some things to focus on, mostly with the mental approach and preparation. This team has the pieces to make this a very fun spring and I am looking forward to every minute."

The Iowa Lakes golf team continues their season on Monday April 10th and Tuesday April 11th in Indianola, Iowa at the Simpson Spring Invite.
