COACH'S COMMENT: "Day one was a struggle," Calvin men's golf coach Brian Bolt said. "We posted below average scores through the whole line-up. We knew it would be tough since the weather has kept us from practicing outside until just yesterday. Still, we need to sharpen our games quickly to be ready for the league AQ in a few weeks."

NEXT UP: Calvin men's golf returns to action tomorrow (Saturday, April 1) for day two of the Purgatory Intercollegiate.
