And finally . . .As the 2017 season approaches the halfway point, it's time for the first Questions For Coach of the year. If enough interesting questions are sent here to the BGA world headquarters, I'll put a representative sampling of them to Buddy Teevens and include them in Thursday's BGA Premium post. And as has been the case in the past, I'll open that page up to non-subscribers a few days later, so do send your questions along. As always, be civil.
To send along a question for Coach Teevens, email BGA by CLICKING HERE. That will address an email with the subject line, QuestionsForCoach.
