72 ■ THE WOLFPACKER "They are very talented, and they love the game," Marsh said. "They all bring a little different experience. They're all from dif- ferent parts of the world. I think the sky is the limit for this group. If we focus, pay at- tention to detail, work hard, love the game, keep growing over time, I think that there are very special things ahead for them." Bettel won the 2015 Austrian Ladies Stroke Play, twice firing a 68, and was chosen for the three-member Austrian team at the 2015 World Amateur Team Championships in Tokyo. She won 2015 Austrian Junior Player of the Year honors. Clyburn won the U21 Scotland Junior Ladies Stroke Play Championships by a tournament-record 12 shots, shooting 15 under par for the tournament and a 9-under 65 for the final round. Ko played the last three years on the Canadian National Development team, was named the top player at Claremont's Sports Institute and won the 2014 CN Fu- ture Links Ontario Championships and the 2014 BC Junior Girls Championships. Kowohl finished 10th at the German Na- tional Girls Championships, advanced to the match-play round at the British Girls Championships in Ireland and anchored the German girls team to a fourth-place finish at the European Junior Team Champion- ships in Slovakia. "We're a young team again, so we're going to have our ups and downs as people experience what it's like to play college golf," Marsh said. "It's been three years since we played this many freshmen at one time, but they can do it. There are so many variables. You recruit them in one setting, and then you move them to another; so there's a lot of adjustment to be made." Content experts, conference presenters, trainers, & leaders.

The Lady Gator Invitational is played at the Bostick Golf Club in Gainesville on a Donald Ross course, which could prove important because the Sedgefield Country Club Course in Greensboro, home of the ACC Champion- ships, also is a Donald Ross-designed. LSU Tiger Classic, March 20‑22 — Like the Bo- stick Golf Club in Gainesville, the course at the Univer- sity Club at LSU is demanding and will present multiple challenges to the young Wolfpack. Of more potential importance, the LSU University Club will be the site of one of the four NCAA regionals this spring. While the odds are against the Pack being sent to Baton Rouge, familiarity with the course would only be an advantage. ACC Championships, April 17‑19 — The ACC is a strong conference for women's golf, deep although not necessarily at the top this season. Virginia ran away with the team championship a year ago, with NC State tying for eighth. The Wolfpack heads into 2016 in a tight cluster of five teams looking up at third-ranked Duke.
