"Today we focused more on being present, letting go of past shots, and not getting too far ahead of ourselves and outcomes," said Assistant Coach
Randall Stuckey '83. "Following our process produced better results than yesterday, and both teams finished our last four holes even and under par, which is fantastic. It will be fun to play the course we know so well tomorrow and go with the mindset of making pars instead of pushing too hard for birdies. Really proud of how the guys handled themselves on the course. Big improvement over yesterday."
The Gusties are back in action at their home course Monday, teeing off at 10 a.m. in Le Sueur.
