"You consider the scores today then there is probably only 12 or 13 scores under 90, and I think there was a couple of the reduced five and four of these dozen under 90, i really see that and i also is able to see it's a tough track today," said Dirks. "Damage control is what it amounts to, be capable of maintain your ball in play. You already know there's destined to be a great deal of bogeys available by everybody, so steer clear of the big numbers and you will be able to are available in having a respectable score.

"I think all of us are pretty relaxed and learn how to play this golf course so we don't need to put a lot of pressure on ourselves," he said. "The ideal thing I will tell the people is simply be smart. In case you have one bad hole, keep your head up, keep playing and merely play your individual game."

The course and the conditions allowed only for six total birdies at the time, with Clay Burmester comprising Grundy Center's only sub-par number with his 3 around the par-4 third hole.

"The thing about our golf course is it's really a tough place to shoot well, and you factor in the wind and it could make the course even tougher than what it already is," said Dirks. "So the boys are probably a little bit disappointed with a few with the higher scores that they can shot but at the same time, it can be sometimes a tricky course to attain."

Eisenman said it would be a "two-club wind" all day every day, but the Spartans still managed their game good enough to adopt a 10-stroke victory in front of Clarksville.

Of course, if we had played in addition to we're effective at, which was in your grasp. It's disappointing."
