TGW.com
Mens Nike Dri Fit UV Polo. $42.95 plus tax and shipping. Color:Green (there is only one green on the color chart.
Team dress: Green Nike Golf shirt, khaki pants or shorts and golf shoes.
Travel: We will take the 7 low qualifiers to matches but only 6 get to play. #7 is an alternate.
We play 18 holes. Each 9 holes counts as a 9 hole match for our state score but the match is the best 4 scores out of 6 for 18 holes. We normally eat lunch and on the way home.
For the trip to Cary we will eat at the Cary Towne Center Mall. It is not far from the Prestonwood Course.

Parrott Match rescheduled for Tuesday!!!!
Hi Team, ****Finally got the word the match at Parrott has been moved to Tuesday at 1:00pm. Practice today at the normal time weather permitting!!**** Posted 7:24am Monday 28th. Bland ***As of 9:42pm Sunday night I have not heard anything definitive on if the match is cancelled or when it can be made up. I assume they have not been able to reach all the Coaches. As of now plan to play, I really think from what I was told it is highly unlikely but you still need to be ready to go if things do not change. When I hear I will let you know**** Just got a call from the golf coach at APA, Hugh Pollard. Looks like if they can get approval from the CCS coach who they have not been able to get in touch with we are going to play on Tuesday not Monday. Be prepared to go to school Monday just in case. This is about 90% definite, appears we will not play on Monday due to rain and cold. We will practice on Monday weather permitting. Spread the word among your teammates, I will post more when I find out the final plans. Bland

How we are going to improve our game.
Hi Team,
I guess the big question for all on this years team is how are we going to improve our game. Here are some thoughts and I will add to these as I have more time some return to this page and re-read this information.
1- Practice does not make Perfect, Perfect Practice makes Perfect. If you are doing it incorrectly then you are only grooving a bad habit. We need to make sure that we strive to have good fundamentals to give each player their best chance of being as good as they can be. Along with having good fundaments a player must have a understanding of the game and what is their best chance at shooting a good score.
2- The fastest way to improve your game and our teams score is the short game. We are getting close to the point that as a group we have workable golf swings. Not all perfect yet but far enough along that I can work with each of you to close the gap and improve.
3- Here is the logic, develop a workable tee shot that emphasizes consistently staying in the fairway. Play low risk golf. Become good at scoring from 50 yards in. We should never take more than 3 strokes to get the ball in the hole from 50 yards into the hole. We will need each player to track this stat to track improvement.
4- We will put in extra time working on chipping, putting, pitching and getting better out of the sand.
5- As a team we operate on the idea for every player that bogey is a good score. If we have a choice between taking a big chance for birdie or playing safe and smart to guarantee no worse than a 2 putt bogey that will be our focus. All good golfers play this way. Bogey's do not kill your score but Par plus 5 and double and triple bogey's do. If you made all bogeys you would shoot 90. Almost for certain if I gurantee you no worse than a bogey you will make a few pars and maybe some birdies. 75 to 85 becomes very easy to get to if you take the high scores off the table.
6- In a golf match we take our 4 best scores. 4 times 90 = 360. That would be a great starting spot for our team.
More to follow later!

Practice Schedule
Golf Team,
We will practice Wednesday (3/31/10) No practice on Thursday due to the JR/Sr Prom. Over Easter Break all of you need to make an effort to get yourselves on your home course whereever you belong and get your game in top shape.
We play Monday April 12 at St. Davids, the day we return from spring break and then again on Thursday April 15 at CCS. We then play Monday April 19 at RMA. So you can see for us to have a good chance at the states we need to be ready to play our best on the 7 days after Easter Break.
We have already qualified for the first match vs St.Davids. We will qualify for CCS probably on Tuesday and Qualify for RMA on Thursday. Everyday will be filled with important golf. I hope to get something worked out about the match we missed at least by the week of the 12th.
Get your A game in shape. It is going to be a fun and important ride. Remember, the top 3 from the last match automatically qualify for the next match. The 4th best score if 85 or less will also get bye from qualifying for the next match. The other two spots (or three) will be decided by qualifying.
Coach May
PS- if I remember correctly we went to Triangle Town Center Food Court for lunch before playing at North Ridge (St. Davids). We will go to Cary Town Center food court before CCS and of course IHOP before RMA. I will have to leave RMA immediately after the match due to a School Board Meeting the same night.
