I'm one of my high school matches last year, we were playing in 2 somes and my opposing player kicked my ball behind a tree. I didn't know until after the fact because a spectator told me. I ended up medaling the match though. Karma.

This weekend I am going to my first ever PGA tour event, the BMW Championship. Does anyone have any tips to get the most out this experience? Also, I would like to try and get some autographs, but I'm unsure of how to go about doing this. Keep in mind I'm 16. Thanks.

My favorite is "You suck, ya jackass"

Hey lads, I am planning to go to the BMW Championship this year and I was just curious about the camera policy. Hopefully someone with experience can help me out. From what I have read, at nearly all events you can not take any photos what so ever, not even on a smart phone. I fully understand this because of the shutter sounds and everything, but I'm a jackass, so I will probably end up taking pictures on my phone anyway. Does anyone know how heavily this is enforced? I doubt I would get kicked out because most of the marshals are volunteers and I just can't see them doing that. Also, there was a Snapchat live event (younger guys will know) for the PLAYERS Championship with hundreds of photos and videos on it, but the website prohibited camera usage. Therefore, I think it must be pretty easy to get away with. If anyone knows anything, spit it out please. Thanks.

I mean I know my abilities and where I can/should be scoring wise. I would normally shoot 44 or so at that course and I have broken 40 almost 10 times. I don't expect a 41 every round or anything, but I expect at least under 50.

Hi this is my first real post on The Sand Trap. Im a 16 year old high school golfer. On 4/7, I had my first match of my high school career. I ended up surprising everyone by shooting a 41 and medaling the match. After this match, I was pretty optimistic for the rest of the season and I could see myself succeeding in the future. Ever since that match I have been in a pretty bad slump. My best round was a 95 in a tournament. Besides that, I don't think I have broke 50 more than once, and I play about 4-5 times a week. I shot a 55 on Sunday at my home course where I normally average low 40s. My team has also had matches the past 2 days and I shot 53 both times. I have lost my rank on the team and I am now the #6. This is exactly what I did not want to happen. I cannot seem to pin point the reason behind my slump. There's nothing going on in my personal life that could cause it. Also, I am never doubtful of what I am able to do on the golf course. I never go into a round or a shot with a negative attitude. I know I can perform well, it's just a matter of doing it. I believe that I can get my spot back and return to where I was during the beginning of the season. It is just a matter of simply doing it. I don't know what is causing this slump though. Nothing besides the play of my golf game has changed. I do not get frustrated if I mess up because I understand it happens. I have a match tomorrow and I plan to perform well. My coach hasn't addressed my slump to me, so I figured I would come here for advice. How can I get out of this slump? Thanks.

I nearly never pay for golf. i have team practice everyday which is obviously free. Also, my dad works at a course too, so I get to play for free there. I'm probably gonna get getting a cart boy job too which I would assume would give me free golf at that course.

Hello, this is my first post on the forums. I am a high school golfer, but since it is the summer, I lack instruction. I was wondering how I could add I lower-lofted, running chip to my arsenal. Right now, I only hit high-arching chips, no matter what the club loft is; 52,56,60. I need this chip for when I am in a situation when I can not hit my normal chip, such as being under a tree. When in these situations, I usually just bump-and-run with a 3 iron or hybrid. I understand that I should probably would use a 52* when hitting a running chip, but I do not know how to go about doing this. Thanks!
