Preseason

Dear Prospective Golfers:

I hope you all have great summers and that you manage to play a little golf.  Coach St. George is working as my assistant again this year.  Together, we hope to make this a fun, safe, and winning golf season. The following provides information on the team’s structure, including tryout dates for Varsity.

The Varsity squad is the competition squad.  We practice/play home matches at Pine Meadows Golf in Lexington – we also play matches on the road at a variety of golf courses. Varsity mostly plays golf four days a week, Monday-Thursday, but we may play an occasional Friday match.  Bus transportation is provided to Pine Meadows.  Unless driving, students need to be picked up at Pine Meadows at the end of all practices/home matches.  Bus transportation to and from road matches is provided.  We sometimes get back from road matches in time for golfers to take the sports buses, but parents should plan to pick up golfers at Minuteman just in case. 

The JV squad does not play matches.  Development of golf skills are focused on to move golfers to Varsity.  JV practices twice a week (days to be determined) at Stone Meadow Golf in Lexington, which has a driving range and a small beginner’s golf course.  Bus transportation is provided to and from Stone Meadow, and all JV golfers return in time to take the sports buses.

Tryouts begin at Stone Meadow Golf in Lexington on Friday, August 18^th and Monday, August 21^st both from 2PM-4PM.  Golfers need not stay the entire time and only need to attend one date.  We will assess golf swings to make early determinations as to whether golfers will begin the year on JV or whether they will continue trying out for Varsity.  Please contact me if you cannot make either date.

If asked to continue trying out for Varsity, golfers will shift to Pine Meadows Golf for additional tryouts on Tuesday, August 22^nd through Thursday, August 24^th.  Golfers asked to attend these tryouts should plan to arrive at Pine Meadows golf at 2:30PM and plan to be at the course till 5:30PM, as we will be playing a nine-hole round of golf.
