is it really intimidating and intense? is it competitive at all?

Golf competition is what you make of it. Total shot in the dark here on my part, but if your handicap listing is accurate, go out and

have fun and just ignore the other competitors in stroke play and have a great time. I suspect you're better than some of your team-mates, so just playing your usual game and having fun will help your team immensely.

I started high school just last year and went out for the team in the begining of the spring. I made the team as only 1 of 2 freshmen that made it. Our team had a 13 and 2 season and we won the conference championship. I had a scoring average of about 40 (for 9 holes) and won medalist honors once. Then at the end of the year i was ranked 3rd best on my team and won the "most outstanding golfer award" for our team and was also awarded all conference honorable mention. I think i had a pretty good year. Go ST RAVENS!

I was my HS's team's captain..... small public school just west of Boston... GREAT times. lots of team spirit, and it was 9 hole match play, which was a blast and helped get me into the mentality to win a lot of summer stroke play events.

does your school play in the fall or spring? I go to school just south of Boston, and we were in the only league left in the spring (but we're moving to the fall this coming year)

    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree. 
    • Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i
    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.   
    • I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
