Golf head coach, Erin Thorne:

"Our ability to play against the best in the region and nation means travel and additional hotel nights. Playing in these high-caliber tournaments will give these student-athletes memories for a lifetime and a chance to compete for the national championship. We are also in need of additional gear, including a second pair of golf cleats. On average you walk seven miles for 18 holes. These student athletes play in over 25 tournament rounds, plus practice rounds and just everyday practice. With the amount of miles these student-athletes walk, it's crucial to be able to focus on golf instead of sore and wet feet - the key to low scoring is proper footwear."
