Zeke Shaffer QUOTE: "I love being a member at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech. The layout of the course with its narrow fairways, small and well bunkered greens provides a challenging test for your game. My personal best is a 67 from the White Tees and I know that if I can play well here . . . I can play well anywhere. It definitely makes me more confident when I compete on other courses."
