Preseason Meeting for Registered Players

There will be a preseason meeting for all players registered for Boys golf on Wednesday March 13th at 3:30 in room 3G04.  The meeting will last approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

We will be discussing practice expectations and information for the upcoming season.

Also, Soldiers Fields Golf Course, Willow Creek Golf Course and others have opened for golfing. Northern Hills Range is open and we are awaiting to see when the course will be open for play.  Since we have had such awesome weather, I would be out swing and practicing as much as I can before the first official start day on March 18.

2024 Golf Season Information

Varsity/JV/ C Tryouts and more information:

Those trying for top 12 V/JV

  • Top 6 players (based on qualifying rounds) will be varsity during those meets.
  • Next 6 scores will be placed on JV to compete.
  • If no qualifying matches can be held because of weather. Last seasons results will be used to help determine positioning.
  • Placement within teams is a moving piece and can change from week to week. My hope is to build a competitive team that challenges all individuals involved.

I am looking to build a program with all levels of players.

  • Top 8 players competing to play varsity every week.
  • Next 8 players are looking to move into that top 8 category
  • The next level of players will be compete to move up to JV.

All these positions are moving pieces and change throughout the season based on improvements and scores.  I am looking to keep 18-20 players max.  We can't handle more players than 20 with the number of coaches and space that we have to work with.  

This means we may have cuts depending on how many players sign up.

I am trying to build a competitive and successful program which does not allow for everyone to be a part of.  Non-Varsity seniors will not travel out of town for meets and will likely be part the cuts unless they have a chance to play at the Varsity level.

There will be a preseason meeting on Friday 23, 2024 from 3:30 to 4:00 in room 3G04 at John Marshall High School. I will provide more information on tryouts and the program expectations.  It is for all players grades 7-12 that are interested in playing golf or have already signed up for golf this season.

John Adams and Dakota students: You can take the JMHS "Activity Bus", and your parents can pick you up from John Marshall afterwards.

If you are unable to make the meeting for any reason (other sports or prior commitments), please send an email out to me to introduce yourself and I can send my presentation back to you.
