That's just fine with Demo,
though you have to expecting him
to do better than the second year coach never has been one to put much value on
his job.
"I don't worry about anyone else's team or what they are doing." Demo said. "It's not going to change anything. The only team I concerbeed about is our own. If we could finish second or third.
"If we play averages we could finish fourth or fifth. The only thing I ask of our players is that they give 100 percent for 18 holes."
Demo took over the women's golf team from Kent Weiser in January and led it to a fourth place finish in the conference.
Athtugh Demo lost two solid players in Sue Pekar and Tina Grewich from that team, a strong recruiting class should help fill the

"I have a lot of confidence in how I'm swinging the club right now," Triplett said. "I am happy to do this, and I know one thing in my life that's remaining constant. It keeps me busy but I having a good time. I wouldn't go to a nightclub."
Triplett was recruited heavily out of high school and chose Kansas over Iowa State, Nebraska. Southern Illinois and Washington
"I wanted to play college golf, but I also wanted to go somewhere where I could play my freshman year," Tripley said. "I made the right choice. I'm like the school, we are young, but there is a depth on the team. We should improve a lot."
Demo said he was constantly pushing his players to improve.
"I don't think there is a coach in the country that wants his team to win," he said. "You are always wanting to improve. That's what we are looking for."
As his team improved, Demo said his team would gain consistency.
“There have been certain rounds this semester I've been very encouraged by and some people have been encouraged by we played." Demo said. "You can't have a good round and then follow it up with a bad one if you want to win. If we can be consistent with all as a team and as individuals."
