Coach Beatty says:
"Life throws you some tough decisions, and where you go to college is one of them. Every student that attends WNMU to play golf is making an initial sacrifice because they are giving up much of what they believe the college experience to be.
Silver City is a small town in a remote area, and WNMU is a small school. I wish we were WNMU-Phoenix, but we aren't. So we have to offer and optimize our positives... and there are many. Examine the good and the bad of your choice.
And remember: Depending on the person, some of the positives might really be negatives and vice-versa.
Just for fun, look at each column in the opposite light (how can the positives be negative and vice-versa)."
