i am currently a freshmen and i love golf. i am going to play on ym freshmen team and know i have a spot on it but i dont know if i would be in the top 6? i know the captain of the team because he is my friends boyfriend and he and 3 others shoot around 36 on 9 holes. as for me i am shloting anywhere from 43 to 46 on 9 holes?. my coach said there are 3 good people (the seniors hovering around par) a few average ones and 5 bad ones (60 + on 9). where do you think i would be?

Obviously you know the team a lot better than any of us.. But, I am a freshman, and I'm number 3 on the Varsity team.. That is mostly due to the fact that we lost 6 seniors last year.. I shoot like you, about 85 on 18, so 42-44 on 9.  You're probably one of the average ones... But, keep improving your game.. Listen to your coach.. If there are 3 good people and a couple of average ones, who cares if you're 4th or 6th.. You're still playing..... And your score still counts. Keep working... I've been very lucky to be in the position on the team that I am, because even though we're not that great, we're 4-3.  Just keep improving and you'll easily start.

It depends on how his definition of average. I am my school's worst varsity play having shot 78-77 in tryouts, but it varies from school to school. I'm open enrolled, but if I went to the school that I'm in the attendance area for I would be miles ahead of the rest of the team shooting my current scores. However, playing with people better than you and attempting to make the team gives you a huge incentive to improve and helped me get to where I'm at.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
