\nQuote from\u00a0head coach\u00a0JD Fletcher<\/a>\u00a0
\n“Opportunities like these would not be possible without our incredible alumni and support staff. Ultimately, the caliber of an event like the Calusa Cup is why our young men play golf. We will get to compete against the best teams in the country and on the 98th-ranked course in America by Golf Digest. Our young men have been working very hard and diligently all spring. I am very excited to see how we compete this week. I have kept reminding the boys that they belong in events like the Calusa Cup and to be extremely grateful for this amazing opportunity. We are grateful for this opportunity but we are also going in with the intention of winning and putting Miami Golf on the map as a prominent regionals contender. We are also very thankful for Gary Chensoff, the GM and owner of Calusa Pines, who is a proud Miami alum.”
