UPDATES
EARLY SEASON TEST SET
Just like last year, we plan to have a test set in late October. Since we're still early in our training season, this version will be aerobic-focused.
TEAM STORE - COMING SOON!
Do you have any AGUA Masters gear you want to see in our team store? Feel free to let Jim Wu know at jwu@asphaltgreen.org as we build it out and share once it's ready.
