High School Golf

[Austin_Sachs]

Don't worry about the score, in high school I cared too much about what I shot and it ballooned my scores and hurt my mood. Its great that you want to play competitively and always set your goals based on your past, not those around you.

I think you are going to find that if you don't enjoy playing the game then you are not going to enjoy competing on any level: JV or Varsity.  The best advice I can give you is that ONCE you have decided that you like golf and are interested in playing it well you should get golf lessons.  The playing for fun thing is good but it doesn't teach you findamentals and actually promotes some bad habits that are hard to undo later.  You will have to be efficient.  Find equipment you hit well AFTER some lessons.  Super Game Improvement is where to begin.  Practice more short game than anything else  Invest more time putting than driving.  Always document your improvement and try to learn as much as you can.  If you really invest yourself in this endeavor, not only will you be competitive but you might find yourself playing the game well into your 80's.  That's the real reward.
