Team Interview- University of Idaho (A) Brandon Drake Team President
Question 1: How did you guys prepare for this tournament?
-
Most guys prepared just by simply playing our home course but even that really didn't help us for what we had to play in. Harbour Pointe golf course was extremely wet and the ball did not fly very far and that was a tough adjustment to make from the course we were practicing on.
Question 2: Who makes up your team?
-
Most of our players our in the University of Idaho's professional golf management program but we do have a few that are just students who like playing golf.
Question 3: How does it feel to be the first team from your Region to get a bid to the National Championship?
-
It feels amazing to be the first team to represent the Northwest Region at the National Championship! We were very disappointed we didn't make it in the fall so we worked hard to recruit more players and more teams for our region so we could have an automatic bid from our region and my team and I are very excited to be the first automatic bid out of our region.
