My team wins our division and conference. I'm at like 5.9 which is pretty much around the top average, but since I played like crap this year, it didn't really matter. Our worst guy averages like 90, so you should have no problem.

alright thanks i am goingto play compeatative next summer to so i hope to get down to a 5 index thats my goal anyway cause i have unlimeted range axsess so i will be at the course every day

Dont forget to play, all those nice range shots mean nothing if you can't pull them off under pressure. My advice is to play in as many junior tournys, as you most likely will play worst under pressure, and it's good to get used to the pressure. Also try mixing it up at the range, dont hit 3 7 irons in a row, pretend your on a course, Driver, SW, something like that.

well i still played 73 rounds this year so i do play and i quit baseball so i should play more the 70 this year but in my club champoinship i played well but due to baseball i had to drop after the first day but shot a 77 on the first day wich is probably my average at that course

Next year I'm going to be going to school in Oregon, and the school that I'm going to has one of the better golf teams in the state, and if I were there right now with my 7.7 index I'd be the #3 or 4 guy. The bottom end of varsity shoots mid-80's.

haha im fairly similar 7.5 index and have 90 rounds posted this year and thousands of hours at the range. Only difference is the best kid is a +3.2 handicap and the top 3 are all below scratch, ive got work to do if i want to play varsity next year.

Depending on what division your school is, Id say having a handicap below 10 gives you a good chance to make the team.
I started varsity in 8th grade shooting mid to low 40s on 9 ( we don't play 18 in matches), our teams isn't very good though.
The tough part is most definetly pulling off shots under pressure.

Rules violation ehh? Playing as an 8th grader? Maybe not, just we can't do that. Also the worst person on our varsity averages about 84. We had all sophmores/juniors/freshman, so our team is gonna make a run at states next year with everyone returning.

Our team just won State for Illinois 1a, and we had a 12 man varsity. Our school is private so It might be harder here, but I shot mid 80's to be 7th man. Our Top three players were all scratch golfer though. If you have a 5 handicap then you should be good

[anthonykim3]

well i found out that the best kid on my highschool team only has a 7 so i should make it no problem cause where i come from there is like probably 1000 kids in the highschool and aparently only 15 tryied out for the golf team so ill be fine

That's not a violation at all. Some schools we played during the season had some 8th-graders. JB Holmes was on his high school team as a 3rd grader.
