Coach's Comments: Macgregor appears to me to be a golfer who could be great. Why do I say that? Because there are times that he has streaks of tour level golf. There are times that he knocks the driver down the center mow strip on every hole. There are times he hits ten consecutive approach shots inside 15 feet. There are times he will putt lights-out for a week at a time. Then it goes away but inconsistency is the dilemma all golfers face. However, not all golfers can hit it and putt as well as Macgregor does. I know he is only a sophomore but I predict this will be the year that he takes off.
