DP: How would you describe this season?
BP: "This season was really rough considering the weather. We had a lot of indoor practices, but it was a lot of fun ... We won regionals. I don't think Bowman's ever done that for girls golf at all and we got second at state and that was really good. It was a rough start because we never got to practice outside because of the weather, but I was really happy we were able to wrap it up and finish strong."
