Hi Guys and Girls,
Monday we will end practice at 5:00pm. I have a school board meeting and I will have to leave early. Please make arrangements with your ride.
Tuesday we will play a match in Raleigh at North Ridge CC. Be prepared for the possibility of wet weather.
Hope you all had a Great Easter.
Thought: We should always strive to get the most out of our ability on any given day, but we should never forget we need to work hard to make sure our ability level continues to grow so our best is always getting better.

Team and Individual Index.
Hi Guys and Girls,
1- Our team index for the year not counting the two 9 hole throw outs thru our last match at Prestonwood is 7.52. Speculation by our conference coaches is we need to be in the 6's to qualify for the states this year. That is one stroke per player per 9 holes. I know we out perform that by a bunch if we play like we are capable.
2- Individual Index's:
C. Freeman 2.72
L. Lucas 8.92
A. Crawley 9.46
M. Grant 11.49
C. Rightmyer 11.70
H. Strickland 13.33
3- We still have a shot at the states but we need to play some of our best golf the rest of the way. Its all a matter of how bad do we want it.
4- Our current record in the EPIC is 2 - 6. Big time golf is still alive and well in our conference. If we want to move up we need to play better. Hope you guys are taking some time over Easter Break to work on getting better. There is no substitute for playing alot of golf if you want to play your best.
5- BTW, the top 10 golfers average score wise in conference matches makes All Conference. Some of you guys if you play hard the rest of the season might have a shot this year. It is the top 10 so make the best of your opportunity.
6- The last three matches are at North Ridge in Raleigh, at home and at Kinston CC. We can play well on all three of those courses.
Thought for the Day: "Kites don't rise against the wind". R. Wms, UNC. Golf related it means if you are trying to invent an unorthodox way of swinging the club chances are your kite will not rise. In school if you take a antagonistic attitude towards teachers and school chances are your kites will not rise. Get with the program no matter what you do and get the most out of your chances and your ability.
Have a safe and Happy Easter.

Tuesday Match @ Cary Christian.
Hi Guys and Girls,
Departure time for our Tuesday Match with Cary at Prestonwood is 9:35. We are cutting it very close time wise. At Benvenue we hardly had time to hit range balls and were the last team at the course. So have all your stuff ready and be ready to leave the school by 9:40am.
Remember to have your golf shoes, be clean shaven (boys), have your clubs, money to eat twice before coming home and warm clothes. The high temperature is around 53 according to the Sunday weather.
Do not forget, our mission is to finish this season no lower than second place in the conference. We just need to play like we practice and we can do it.
Thought: The difference between winners and losers is simple. Winners are driven by their dream of accomplishing a goal. Not simply a dream but a passion that burns in their minds and pushes them everyday until they reach their goal. Bob Rotella, Golf Psychologist to about half the PGA and LPGA Tours.

4-2-09 Practice and Notes
Hi Guys and Girls,
Some Notes:
1- We missed Luke's solid game in the RMA hosted conference match. With him I have no doubt even with playing poorly we would have beaten St. Davids and Cary.
2- Our Team record is now 4 wins and 4 losses.
3- I expect us to take the runner up trophy in the EPIC this year. We can and should beat every team in the conference with the possible exception of Parrott every time out. Focus.
4- Today in practice Chris was out but we still had our best practice of the season. Clay shot 37, Luke 38, Drew(MacDaddy) 39 and Holden(Giggles) 39 and Mark a solid 43. The 4 best scores doubled would be 306. Exactly what APA shot Monday to win the match at Benvenue.
5- We have a great opportunity if we work hard to claim the runner up spot in the EPIC this season. That would be quite and accomplishment. I have little doubt that Parrott will win Coach Pollard another state championship to add to his trophy case. Lets us take care of business and beat the other teams every time the rest of this year. That would be fun!
6- Yesterday on the Practice Range I thought we hit the ball better than we have this entire season. Lets keep it up, take pride in what you do and lets do our best everyday in practice.
7- This team needs leaders with an S, not just one leader. We need each player on this team to take ownership of making each and everyday a step toward us playing our best the rest of this year. Do your part to make it happen. It is going to take every player pushing to do their best.
Thought of the Day: "No one ever drowned in their own sweat. Lets take pride in knowing that no team has outworked us." Roy Williams, UNC Basketball Coach.
Have a good and safe weekend, the weather is going to be nice. Get out and work on your game. Also unless the forecast changes Tuesday is going to be a typical Viking Golf day. 51 degrees and cloudy is the present prediction. Make sure you have the clothes you need to play your best in the cold. Be Prepared. Take no prisoners.
