Thomas F. Roush, M.D., and Family Vanderbilt Men’s Golf Head Coach Scott Limbaugh on the Linger Longer Invitational
“We are excited to be back at the Linger Longer. It’s been a really fun event through the years for our teams. We’ve had a nice couple of weeks since our last event to get rested. We focused on doing the simple things better, so we can finish the regular season the right way. This is another great opportunity for us to see guys step up and keep building our team identity. I’m excited about this group this week, and my biggest request of them is to see them playing with passion and having pride representing our program.”
