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)

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
