Great job guys, great reading.

We didn't really have try-outs for my team this year because our 1, 2, 4, and 5 were all out of town. We did have me, the 3, and our 6 and 7. I shot 71 and 6 shot 95 and 7 shot 106.

Nice play! Solid.

Yep my tryouts are coming up too. Monday(Elk Valley), Tuesday(Downing), Wednesday(Elk Valley Driving Range), Thursday(downing). The top ten go to Florida...i hope i get top 10 (yeah right as a freshman)

[rmgr]

try to hit the practice green tomorrow before the tryouts for a bit, or practice on your home carpet, seems like you need a bit of work to stop those three putts.

So, where do you stand compared to the rest of the "field"?

Nashville, huh? Where do you go to school and what course did y'all play?

[Spectrums]

Well, my tryouts are done... but we played fourth out of 20 at a mini-tour event and beat the #1 team in our district by 15. Flat out killed them.

And what's crazy is that I'm 8th on my team with an average of 81.

I can't believe this. I'm playing my worst golf of the summer and at the worst time. Shot a 45 today. I'm too pissed to go through stroke by stroke but lets say that I didn't par until the last hole. Pathetic.

Ah, a fellow Nashvillian. We played Riverside, not that hard of a course. Where are you from?

[The Rambler]

Well i stand either as the 12 man on varsity or top 5 on reserve team

[Hogan Incarnate]

At least I didn't get a call from the coach. He isn't posting the list, he's going to call the people that didn't make it and inform them personally. The silver lining on the cloud.

they should allow you to do both, at least to be able to play. or do you get to play alot when your the 12th?

i trying out for froshsoph this year as a sophmore, didn't make it last year, but im playing good golf this summer. Tryouts are in Jan.

The best thing about my school golf team is that its based out of my Home club, so i might even be top or 2nd now. Its pretty exciting to know you could possibly be the best there.

That's extremely exciting Dent!

I am hoping to put myself in the 3rd-5th slot. I have improved a lot since last year but we have a couple of guys who are consistently mid to high 70s that are very hard for me to touch.

My golf tryouts were at the very beginning of the month.
We had 3 days of tryouts. I shot a 5 over 32 (par 3 course), a 7 over 42 and a 10 over 45(bad day). We just had 4 seniors graduate this past year who were all in the top 6 so this season's going to be a little weak. I'm #4 on the team with my friend, a junior as well as me at number 1. He usually shoots even. 2 and 3 are both seniors and they shoot around 2-3 over and around 5ish over respectively. The rest of our team is considerably worse. The next best scores at tryouts were in the uppermid(46)-high 40's. I think if I can pull my putting together and refine my chipping, I can be shooting an easy 5 over anywhere. Btw, my handicap is just an estimate.. I usually shoot in the low 40's for 9 and at worse mid 40's.

My golf tryouts would be on the 28th-30th, I needed to get my physical in by the 10th, but my mom never called the doctor to get an appointment for the physical, so I guess I'm trying out next year. It sucks because I have a chance to get on varsity as a freshman. I need to shoot an 85 to beat out the last man on varsity and I'm playing the best golf of my life. I shot an 80 the other day with a 2 over 38 on the back. But, for the rest of the summer I'm trying to break 80 and make myself much better so I can be on varsity next year.
