Two weeks of tryouts in rain, wind, and temperatures in the 40’s did not stop the Staples Girls Golf Team to get ready for its 7th season under Head Coach Patty Kondub and Assistants Liz Fry and Maureen Fontana.

“Seven is my lucky number, and I have a great feeling about this team and season!” says Coach Kondub.

“In my 14 years as a Staples Coach, this is definitely the toughest team when it comes to playing in inclement weather,” Kondub added.
