How can I follow the HAL teams during the season?

The High School Golf Team plays their home matches at Aguila Golf Course in Laveen, Arizona. Away matches vary season to season. All current scheduled matches are listed in the team calendar.

Scoreboard tab.

How is a Golf Match Scored?

Golf is a unique scoring sport. Athletes are scored both as an individual and as a team. Five athletes compete in a match, with the best four scores taken for a team score. However, individual scores are recorded for an individual score. Every athlete has a reason to shoot their best score at every match. The iWanamaker rankings determine who can qualify for the state tournament.

How do HAL athletes qualify for the State Tournament?

The teams that qualify are the top of each division, with the following eight at large teams gaining a bid to the tournament. After that, the next 15 individuals not on a qualifying team are invited to participate in the state tournament.

How many matches can a HAL athlete play in a single season?

The Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) allows for 14 regular season matches in a season for a high school athlete before the state competition occurs. The Junior High will compete in 8 regular season contests before the state tournament begins.

How can I support the HAL Golf Teams?

The Heritage Academy Laveen Golf Teams accept donations to help support their seasons. You may choose to donate financially to the team general fund, or to a specific athlete in need.
