“Our goal is to ultimately win every tournament, but especially conference” said sophomore Triston Hartfiel, who tied for 16th place at the tournament. To accomplish this, Hartfiel stated “the importance of staying focused throughout the tournament, and not to get upset when things aren’t going ideal”.  On a personal level,  Hartfiel has a goal of not shooting in the 80s and being more consistent in his scores.

The Pirates will be back out on the course Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14 and 15, at the Northwest Conference Fall Classic in Banks, Oregon at Quail Valley golf course.
