QUOTES FROM THE JASPERS
Head Coach
Keith Prokop: "Our team is showing some great moments, we really just haven't made enough putts whether to save some shots or capitalize on opportunities."
"Aidan had a great finish to his fall and showed flashes of what made him a top player last year closing out his last couple holes -3 to get himself back to even on the day."
"Louis has been solid throughout the season, a steady competitor that just needs to make a couple more opportunities and clean up a couple things."
"Cabell has really transformed his game mentally but is going through a period in his golf swing in which when he gets to the other side will be unstoppable."
"Akshay and Walter have all the potential in the world and have the capability of hitting all world shots. Once they get themselves settled in and put some work in this offseason, they will be ready."
"Overall, the scores that we produced this Fall are not us, we haven't put it all together nor do we want to in the Fall."
"We care about the final product in April and hopefully in May, I believe the taste of some greatness but with some humbling along the way is the perfect recipe for us to know exactly that this off season entails if we want to accomplish our goals."
