Tryout Information

First and foremost, it is important to remember that high school golf has a daily time commitment once the fall varsity athletic season begins. Your child will be playing golf almost every weekday from mid-August to October. All prospective players must submit their paperwork to the Athletic Office before tryouts begin (Physicals, Impact Test, etc.). Prospective players will play at least two rounds of golf during tryouts. The golfers with the lowest average will join the team. If a player cannot keep the "pace of play" (roughly 12 minutes per hole) or is a danger to themselves or others, I reserve the right to dismiss them from the team immediately. Once the golf season begins, golf team members will have mandatory practice from Monday to Friday. 

The following is the tryout schedule for 2025. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are mandatory tryout days. If you miss any of those days, you will not be able to make the Varsity golf team, please plan accordingly. 

Mon - 8/4/2025 9am (Practice Range Session)

Tue - 8/5/2025 9am  (9 Holes)

Wed - 8/6/2025 9am (18 Holes) - Last Day of Tryouts
