As the UF women's golf team prepares for its first tournament of the season this weekend with the Preview Invitational, the team will try to dwell on successes from last year.
Making your first career start at quarterback is a daunting task for anyone. Making that first start in arguably the most raucous stadium in the country in front of fans who wouldn't mind seeing your head on a pole takes it to another level.
