Congrats! I felt the same relief years ago. I lettered 4 years from 1967-1971 on my HS team. We were just an average team, but the travel and getting out of school was cool. Work hard. The effort will pay off. I am 55 now and still have a decent game. I started the game at age 10, so I had a good jump start.

You can do it man. Before my handicap came south of 30, I had some 9-hole rounds of 44 - usually after shooting north of 56 on the front nine

In any case, keep your wits about you, play your game and the course and not your opponents (who will be teammates soon enough). If you do that, I'd be surprised to hear if you didn't make it.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Congrats steaksauce. I never played in HS, opting instead to play baseball. I had a buddy I had grown up with playing little league baseball and I remember on the first day of baseball tryouts as a freshman him not being there. I couldn't believe it when I found out he was going to play golf instead. I thought it was such a waste of his talent. The guy was BOO WEEKLEY who now plays on the PGA tour. Made over $2million last year. Suppose I was wrong :)

    • There is 100%, incontrovertible, undisputed evidence and proof that he wasn’t winning majors from 2015 - 2024. Even though I concede that my take is laughable, I don’t think it’s laughable to say that Rory’s major drought during that period is one of the most extreme droughts in modern golf history.  Extreme meaning, with his innate and physical talent (AND his major record pre-2015), he could’ve should’ve won multiple majors during that period. If you agree with that, then the question is why?  What was preventing him from closing the deal on majors?
    • You have no proof that Rory's perceived "jackedness" was hindering him from hitting the crucial shots under pressure at the majors. I don't think his jackedness caused Rory to miss a combined like 7 feet of putts over the last 2 holes at the 2024 US Open. 
    • Not a problem chetlover, as I look back - even thought I truly believed in the take - it looks laughable.  IF - Rory had done some of the things I mentioned and lost, I’m sure I would have trumpeted how prescient I was.  But now, perhaps my take can be considered for a Wall of Shame. Colin M - - haha, he’s jacked for sure - jacked on Big Macs. Brooks and Bryson;  Brooks buffness looks pretty natural?  And Bryson - definitely on the bizarre end of the spectrum.  But for both Brooks and Bryson, they were winning majors.  Whatever jackness they had-have, natural or extreme, was not hindering them from hitting the crucial shots under pressure, at the majors.
    • Did Rory ever explain the horrible pitch on 13? Was it a miss hit?
    • ^^^ I think this year gave us something incredibly exciting, but also special. That list of career grand slam winner is something else. Well, except for Gary Player.
