Thanks for the summary. The women's finish seems disappointing, especially with Lemek posting such a great score, and Roadley playing well. But it is early in the season, so let's hope for improvement.

Think I'll start eating breakfast at Louie's more often. Maybe it will help my golf game. The girls were there Friday morning and they played awfully well.

Bo Ryan - one time BU golf coach, has a piece on BU golf...

http://www.pjstar.com/article/20150718/SPORTS/150719328

"I’ve known Bradley created an indoor golf training center for quite some
time. So for just the second time in the last five years, I went on Bradley
property to check it out thanks to an invite by BU’s men’s coach Jeff Roche.
Impressive....

There is more than 900 square feet of putting turf, a meeting room, players’
lounge and what a has to be the crown jewel — a hitting area that provides
computer analysis....A major donor gift allowed the golf program to install SwingCatalyst, which,
uses three cameras and a pressure board to break down and help improve a
player’s weight distribution, rotational force and balance during the golf
swing.

If you didn’t notice, Bradley finished tied for fourth in the Valley golf
champion just two shots out of a tie for second."


BTW - if weather permits - head out for a day at the driving range - PRACTICALLY FREE!!
