My first match!

[Jax]

Not sure if this is the right place or not, but I play for my High School team and today is our first match! Pretty excited about it. I don't really like the course were playing today tho because there's no room for error you really either hit the fairway or you hit a house. I just had to share with someone :) I'm definitely not the best but i'll post my results later (first tee time is 1pm)

Go get em! It sounds like you know what you're up against.

Yeah I haven't played this course but I did walk it with are girls and noticed a lot. Kinda nervous to but i'll beat that once I start warming up

Awesome! Good luck. I used to love match days. Only problem was, classes just seemed that much longer.

[Jax]

Yeah well best part is my classes don't start tell 10 and we get out at 10:30 so I don't even go, I cleaned my clubs and practiced a bit. Well let's say it was a okay day

First hole I let my nerves get the best of me and hit it like 10 feet in front of me (we started at 10). I ended up shooting 55 in the back nine and then 45 in the front nine. I know what I did wrong and relized it next match shoot be in low 90s high 80s for sure

You've got the right idea. Understand what you did and work on the parts you want to get better at. Let us know when you're about to go to the next match.

Since I really got into golf around last June or July, I've always had the worst slice anyone has seen everyone tells me that. So people tell me do this I do it and then it works once and its no more. So today I teed off with my 3 wood all the time (still cant hit my r7). But I tried something different on hole 6 I believe, I know I slice bad so I aimed FAR left and just blasted it and to my amaze hit the fairway perfect! So from there on out I just did that and did way better. It was funny tho because I was in heat two (these guys are good) and I was hitting the same distance with my 3 wood they were with there driver.

Today we actually played at Desert Rose this place is really bad (not well maintained) a lot of ditches and rocks not many trees. My next match is Monday 4/12/010 at Los Prados witch works out perfect because I figured out how to hit the fairway better and this place is a hit or miss.

my son plays for his high school team and has played for two seasons, JVs and now with the Varsity. Its fantastic experience so enjoy every moment. When you practice and play matches every week, you will improve very quickly.

Don't forget the short game, putting and chipping around the green, its the fastest way to lower your scores especially during matches. Keep the ball in play and let the short game win the match for you.

Nice i'm a senior and this is my first year, I regret not starting sooner. The guys I was playing with shot 78,85 and 95 then me at 101. I actually liked it because they gave me some great tips to help me
