Golf Team??????

Question

Hi I am 14 years old, I will be a freshman this year. I have been playing golf for about a year, just now started playing golf serious for about a month. There is only about 7 other kids on the freshmen team, but they all are pretty good. I dont know my handicap but it is in the mid hundreds, and also dont have a good set of golf clubs my parents will not by them so if you could tell me if i should join the team that would be great thanks.

Answer 1

ya you should try out but here is some tips

1st- your handicap is you best 7 scores and how many over par it is not you average score

2nd- tell you parents you want to make a bet, if you make the golf team they will buy you some new clubs. (try it it usually works)

GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

If you enjoy the game go ahead and try out for the team.  You might not make it depending on how good the other kids are, but at least give it a shot.

Answer 3

If you like to play, you absolutely should try out.  Even if you don't make the team, maybe the coach will let you practice with the team.  Don't worry about your "inferior" equipment until you are consistently making solid contact, then maybe it's time to upgrade.

Also, just a tip about hdcp.  Your AVERAGE is in the mid hundreds, your hdcp is (roughly) your average score - par, probably more like a 70 or something.  But you don't need to be concerned about hdcp until you are making pars and bogeys on a regular basis.

Hope this helps, keep up the good work!
