Golf team

[MIKE1218]

Golf team tryouts start tomorrow! The coach will probably tell me to beat it anyway because I will miss the first two tournaments because of the Engineering Olympics at Michigan Tech, which is much more important to me. Wish me luck though.

Good luck to any other juniors going for their golf team!

I wont be a junior for another 2 years (in college:laugh.

Im also the number 1 anyway, so I dont gota worry.

Just go out there and have fun man, who knows, maybe the coach will want to keep you around for moral and the stretch tourneys! Just one shot at a time right.

[MIKE1218]

I was just kidding about him telling me to beat it, I'll be on the team (I think? ). Technically I should be number 3 or 4 on varsity.

[5iron]

Good luck man, I hope you make the team !

[15andlife]

Yep, we make cuts this thursday. Im not to worried about it. Our golf team isnt competitive at all our coach just likes to spend our money. We really dont have many good people going out this year we lost most of our decent people last year. I should be either 2 or 3 on varsity this year.

[MIKE1218]

You play at all yet this year? How's the swing?

I hope my scores pick up a little when it dries out a bit, I have two 40's and two 39's so far. Not complaining, but I was shooting better than that by a lot at the end of last year.

I have my first match tomorrow! I'm playing number 1 or 2 on varsity.

[JEFF4i]

Good luck!

I remember playing those days. Lemme tell ya though, I enjoyed being 3 or 4 on varsity, once it got to 1...rough deal man, crap gets serious.

First match for my team is Monday, I play Tuesday. The coach doesn't know whats good, he put me in the switch spot, we play 5 count 4 lowest and I'm number 6 (but I'm actually number 4) I at least get to play in 2/3 tourny's this week.

[goatster]

good luck to all.

wish i could go back 24 yrs and join a high school team.

You wana hear serious Jeff?

Played a Collegiate Div II/III tourney this past weekend, I am the number one player on my team.

I played with a kid who had been golfing for 3 weeks! (their coach screwed up, he was their no.5, but their number 1 was only a high 80s shooter!).

Me and the kid I played with who I am friends with are both mid-low 70s shooters, we didn't even keep score for this kid, I just marked double par every hole and he just picked up whenever we were falling behind.

Im willing to bet one day this kid will be good though if he takes golf seriously, he had an amazing attitude, especially since he was in a college tourney with two kids that were waiting on him a lot and absolutely wasting him on the course. He was just happy to be out there golfing and learning from us, he chose to look at the positives instead of the fact that we were kickin his ass:laugh:. Really cool kid.

Its actually looking pretty good. I got out to midvalley on saturday. It was wet in places so I chunked a couple of wedge shots and didnt get the distance that I would've liked but I shot a 40.

[MIKE1218]

Today there was absolutely horrible conditions. It was about 45* and 25mph wind, with gusts that would knock over your bag and make it difficult to walk. Ended up shooting 46, but I don't feel too bad about that, scores in general were really high. I missed lots of putts under 5 feet. If all those went in I would have shot 41. Tomorrow's not looking good either, might be thunderstorms.

[15andlife]

I made 3 on varsity, and am playing Friday and Saturday next week in matches. Are you going to be in any of these?

We keep getting rained out! And I'm striking everything fantastic right now, but the way I'm putting I'll be lucky to even make the team.

And next week I will be in Michigan to dominate pretenders with my excellent engineering team projects. I just want to destroy manitowoc.
