2010 Golf Schedule and Departure Times

Hi Team,

I think we have the makings of a pretty good Golf Team for this year. I am looking forward to seeing how much we can improve before the first match. As of right now this is our schedule. I will try to set up another home match with someone to get us a chance to post another good score if it can be worked out.

High School Golf in the NCISHAA is based on qualifying for the 8 man season ending tournament and whoever wins that as a team over 36 holes is the Champion for 2A Golf. The medalist individually is also recognized and I think the top 8 low scores for the 2 day tournament make up the All State Team.

Individuals can qualify for the state championship on their own without the team making it. I think the rules on this might change a little this year but basically you need to shoot under 80 in every match. Last year we got to throw out the 2 worse 9 hole team scores and individual scores. I am waiting for this years rules to tp be fowarded to me from Coach Herman.

As far as matches go we play 6 players and take the 4 best scores. We play it as two different 9 hole matches for our team index but as a 18 hole score as far as the conference standings go. This is because some of the other conferences only play 9 hole matches. We count the best four scores. Low score wins. Our team index is created from our scores and turn into the Golf Chairman for 2A golf.

After the first match the 3 low scores will automatically qualify for the next match. The 4 score if 85 or less will also qualify. We will qualify for the remaining 2 or 3 spots as the case may be. Playing order is a coaches decision. I reserve the right to change this procedure as I think will better our teams chances.

We will provide for each player a Team Bag to use and take care of for the season. This should be returned at the end of our golf season for storage. You are responsible for this bag being returned in good condition. We will give to each player a Team Shirt and 3 Titleist golf balls for every golf match.

You will need to furnish your clubs, shoes, transportation, travel money for meals, and either Khaki pants or Khaki shorts to be worn with the team shirt. Team Hoodies are available but you will have to pay for them. They were about $20.00 last year. You will also be expected to do your part in our fundraiser golf tournament that we hold to pay for all the nice things that golf requires a team to have. This usually means you or your parents working the day of the tournament and selling Tee Sign add's for hole sponsors at all the tee's.

I have already sold one add for $1000.00 to Vernon Bradley who liked the job I did with the JV Girls teams the past several years and volunteered to be our major sponsor. BTW, It costs us over $3000.00 per year to have this team so we still have some work to do, plus we like to sponsor the year end teachers luncheon and when we have good fundraising we work on other school projects like the fence around the school.

First Practice Feb. 22, 2010

Hi Team,



We had a short practice due to the coach having to attend a school board meeting at 6:30.



Present were:



Luke

Matthew

Clay

Steve

Holden

Kimberly

Ryan

Ray



Missing due to swimming was JW.



It was fun to get out and get started. With the bad weather this winter keeping everyone off the golf course there was a lot of rust. I think the potential is there for a good team though. It should be a fun year.



Tuesday we will have another short practice since I have to attend an Athletic Council Meeting. Practice will end again at 5:00pm. We will try to practice until 5:30(9 holes) or so after that when possible Monday thru Thursday.



Friday, Saturday and Sunday are your personal days but I hope you will go to your home course and play lots of golf. That is how you get better. We will become more involved with teaching golf after everyone settle's in and our swings limber up a bit.



Good Practice,



Bland
