Just trust your swing and have fun. Don't try too HARD, just try to keep having fun. Bad shots happen, but they'll compound if you dwell on them. Just KNOW that you'll hit good shots more often.

When you're getting warmed up, start slow, and start with your "go-to shot". If you dont have one, get one quickly . Use that shot to build your confidence and get you in a good mindset, and you'll do fine.

Just like Jay-Bird said, dont try too hard. Just have a good time, keep a clear mind, and dont beat yourself up over a bad shot or two. A positive demeanor will take you a long way.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes for you.

Talk to the coach casually and ask what he is looking for on his team, also talk to students from last years golf team to find out information about the team.

work on your overall game, especially your short game, relax, have fun, coaches are looking for other things than the best players,

sometimes having a pre-shot routine keeps you calm and relaxed on your shots.

good luck, I am sure you will do well.

Think of what it's going to be like playing on the team. Really visualize this in your mind and have fun.

You are lucky, when I was in high school, golf was for dorks... Boy I wish I could go back...

I was 2nd team all state in baseball, but would trade it all in a minute to to play golf instead...

Enjoy this time, relax, and have fun..

I wish I could have played in high school. I really didn't start playing until I was in college and even then I only played about 6 times a year!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
