Monday Practice 3/9/09

Hi Guys and Girls,

Thought of the day: Hard work doesn't guarantee success but without it you and your team don't stand a chance. Roy Williams UNC Coach

1- Hoodies due in around Friday.

2- Hope our Shirts will be embroidered before Thursday.

3- Very hopeful the cold front and rain will hold off so we can have good weather for our first match vs. RRNC @ Chocoyotte Thursday.

4- Dismissal time Thursday is 11:45 provided we play.

5- Monday Practice: Not good enough to make it into the top 8 in the states!

Chris 38, Luke 42, Drew, 42, Holden 48, Clay 48, Mark 48. Doubled that equals 340. We need to average under 330 based on past years to be in the hunt for the top 8 in the state. Under 325 would be alot better. Kimberly and Victoria out sick.

6- The conference could be wide open this season. Parrott will be tough as always but the other 4 schools have some big holes to fill. Of course with our losses to academics we have some holes to fill now also. Still we should match up well with all the other schools if we play well. So practice every chance you get.

7- Work on improving your game every chance you get, we have a shot at being a good team but it is not going to happen if you only work on your game at golf practice. Step it up.

8- I will allow all players that would like to play a free practice round at Chocoyotte Wednesday after school to be excused from normal practice in order to take advantage of the kind offer from Susan Smith. It would be helpful for those that are not as familiar with that course for the match Thursday. Please inform me Tuesday at practice of your intentions. I will hold practice at MHCC as usual for those that need individual instruction with their swings.

9- Remember, it is not who we beat that is important even though we want to win every match. What we shoot is how you make it to the states in golf. Once you make it to the states whoever plays the best as a team for that 2 day tournament will be the 2A State Champions for 2009. Stay focused on making it there.


10- As always, school and grades come first. Anytime you need to miss practice to study for a big test or receive academic help I will allow it. Please let me know as far in advance as possible so I can plan practice for that day.

11- Two new rules for 2009, no facial hair at golf matches and you must have regulation golf shoes. Plus, keep your shirttails tucked in. Remember the past golf teams have done a wonderful job of playing golf and representing our school. Keep it up, its important.
