Our season starts on August 9th with our first practice. Practices will be held from 6-8 pm at Lake Cora Golf Club until school begins on August 30th. Once September has come and school is in session, we will practice right after school; most likely at 3:30 or 4 (we will determine that once we get closer to the actual dates).
Some things to consider- You NEED a physical ON FILE to practice, so you will need to have one done before August 9th. If you practice without a physical and have not made a coach aware of your situation, you could be removed from the team for integrity reasons.
Girls' Golf is now a varsity sport, which changes things for how the team structure works. There will be a varsity squad made up of the top-scoring 6 players and possibly one alternate. All other players will be playing on the Junior Varsity team. Everyone will practice together and get equal amounts of time to practice, but match play will be limited to Varsity players. I am trying to set up Junior Varsity matches now and will let players know what is arranged as soon as possible. I simply can not guarantee matchplay experience for everyone at this time. BUT, you will get to play a LOT of golf (for free) as long as you come to practices.
You will need your own equipment. Clubs, bags, balls, tees, etc. are not provided, so if you need a set of clubs, please have one by the 9th. Along those lines, please do not feel like you have to spend large sums of money on new equipment. One of the great things about golf at this level is that you can find a nice set of clubs, buy used balls and get on the course for little-to-no money. Then, if golf isn't "For you," it isn't a huge financial burden/mistake.
At this time, there are no Covid-related restrictions for golf. This means, no masks are required, but if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask at any point, please feel free to do so. We also are not being required to take temperatures at this time either. BUT, all of this could change, so please bear with me and Coach Meier as we navigate through the season.
I will hand out tentative schedules at the 1st practice, but as of now, some dates are going to have to change for certain matches. We are set for 9 matches from Aug. 24th through Sept. 23rd.
Please encourage your parents/guardians to attend the first practice with you (we will not be playing any golf at the 1st practice) so that are informed of things they need to know (golf etiquette and parent expectations) and have an opportunity to ask questions if they have any.
Feel free to pass this on to anyone who is interested, but not included on the list of recipients. Also, feel free to ask questions at this time as well; I"ll do my best to answer them.
Thank you and I hope to see you and your parents on the 9th,
Coach Miller
