broken tee

Some of you know I teach school and I'm also the coach of the school's golf team, no one else wanted the job. Today we had our first tournement. I'm proud of the performance of the kids, 4 out of 7 kids never swung a golf club until the later part of March, but today these kids individually scored better than their opponets. we couldn't win as a team because we only had seven show and needed eight, the rest were still at school taking their CRTs as required by law. I had 2 kids shoot 2 over par, a girl and 3 boys who never played until March shot in the low 50's and 1 shot 45. Now to some of you this may be nothing , but to me and the kids this is fantastic.

When do you go to regional's? How do they determine winners is it just off stroke play or do you use handicaps as well?

The best individual score decide the next team of four from each school. winners are by total score of the team. I and another coach have a tourny planned so all the kids can compete with awards for longest drive, straightest drive craziest lie etc. and plenty of food for the teenage tapeworm they all seem to have.

you need an award for the kid that can get on the wrong fairway the most times. I'm 22 and I think that I still suffer from that teenage tapeworm thing I seem to eat a lot but I'm not quiet sure where it goes.
