GIRLS GOLF TEAM. Tryouts begin AUGUST 12th

 

Welcome to the Lindbergh Flyers Golf Blog! 


We're looking forward to you joining us at LHS! We're sure you're as excited as we are, especially with the large number of opportunities to get connected. There will be a lot of athletic teams, clubs, and activities you can join and I hope you will jump right in and GET INVOLVED! 

GIRLS GOLF TEAM. Tryouts begin AUGUST 12th.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS: GOLFERS should complete the 

GOLF ONLINE REGISTRATION for the team even if you are currently undecided. This will make things a lot easier for us during the week. If you make a mistake, simply complete another one and we will use the one you completed most recently. Please be sure to complete the GOLF PERMISSION FORMS so appropriate carpool arrangements during the season can be made. 


GIRLS GOLF TRYOUTS are:


MONDAY (8/12): 
ALL LEVELS: 
7:30am - 9:30am QUAIL CREEK GC  

TUESDAY (8/13): 
ALL LEVELS: 
7:30am - 9:30am QUAIL CREEK GC 
 
WEDNESDAY (8/14):
VARSITY and 11th & 12th Grade: 7:30am - 9:30am QUAIL CREEK GC  
JV and 9th & 10th Grade: 2pm - 4pm SPERRENG SMALL GYM

THURSDAY (8/15): 
VARSITY and 11th & 12th Grade: 7:30am - 9:30am QUAIL CREEK GC  
JV and 9th & 10th Grade: 3pm - 5pm QUAIL CREEK GC

FRIDAY (8/16):  
ALL LEVELS: 7:30am - 9:30am QUAIL CREEK GC 

(NOTE: The 7:30am TRYOUT START TIMES. We will beat the heat as well as the other teams at the course. If the weather is nice enough, then we will always attempt to play on the course.)


I also want to remind you that they can play a Winter or Spring sport and STILL PLAY GOLF in the FALL. Golf is a sport that keeps you active and has a very low risk of injury for your other sport.  


I hope you decide to join us at TRYOUTS, but if you don't, please remember to GET INVOLVED and enjoy a great adventure at LHS! It's a great day to be a FLYER! Be sure to check out the athletic page https://golhsflyers.net/ for more information about registration for ANY sport.

FAQ: 
Experience needed? No. 

Equipment needed? Having your own clubs is VERY HELPFUL, even if they are an incomplete set. If you are putting together one, include the minimum: a PUTTER, a WEDGE or high-iron such as an "8 or 9", a 7 - IRON, and DRIVER. Old BAGS are usually easy to find and you will need something to carry the clubs in. When looking at used clubs, the NEWER models are EASIER to hit. Also, if possible, choose GRAPHITE shafts over STEEL shafts if they are new to golf. Steel shafts are metal while graphite shafts look like thick plastic. These are more flexible and provide a number of benefits to a new golfer. 

What should I do if we don't have clubs? If you do NOT have equipment, let Coach Tyler know on the "Additional Info" section of the GOLF ONLINE REGISTRATION but be sure to include if you are left or right handed

Transportation?  Please note that there is NO BUS to take athletes to and from the golf course during TRYOUTS as well as during the SEASON. STUDENTS are responsible for arriving to practice & arranging carpool rides with other team members. If this is a problem, especially early in the season, contact Coach Tyler and he will do his best to make arrangements. The earlier he knows, the easier it will be. Once the season is underway, schedules will be made to keep carpooling athletes in the same events. Please be sure to complete the GOLF PERMISSION FORMS so appropriate carpool arrangements during the season can be made. 

Type of golf attire needed? Proper golf attire is important. During practice as well as events, players are expected to wear a collared-shirt, shorts, skirt, or pants (no jeans/denim, cut-offs, or gym shorts), tennis or golf shoes (no flip-flops or high-heels). 

Length of REGULAR season? Our REGULAR season is 7 weeks long, beginning on AUGUST 12, 2024 (Tryouts) and ending on OCTOBER 1, 2024. 
POST SEASON for VARSITY continues through OCTOBER 22, 2024 (Hopefully)

How long are practices?  Depending if we begin on time (3:00pm), the speed of course play, or if we are practicing at the range, a typical practice will end at 5:00pm (Course) or 4:00pm (Range). 

How long are matches?  Depending on the speed of course play, matches sometimes take a little longer but EVERYONE is usually completed by 6:30pm. 


How is GOLF SPECIFIC information relayed to players?  We have 3 ways that we distribute information: 1) Lindberghflyersgolf.blogspot.com; 2) SportsYou App (players who make the team will be added and parents who are following their child will also get updates); but on rare or short notice occasions 3) Group texts to players. It is the players responsibility to SHARE these texts to their PARENTS especially when the text directly affects them such as cancellations or adjustments due to weather.
