How to Get on a High School Golf Team

To be on any high school team requires a lot of time, dedication and often, talent. If you want to be on a high school team, be prepared to sacrifice time with friends in favor of practice and meets. Golf is a great sport for student athletes who want to focus on individual improvement. Going out for the golf team may be the best thing you do this school year.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Golf clubs
• Golf cleats

1. Go to the driving range as often as possible before tryouts. Buy a bucket of balls and practice hitting with the driver and irons.

2. Take dates to play miniature golf. Practice putting skills while simultaneously flirting with your date. Bring your own putter to get used to the heft of it.

3. Play 9 or 18 holes at least once a week. Plan out your swing before executing it. Try using different clubs to figure out which one works best in which situation.

4. Work on your stance and continue to practice your swing, often. Distribute your weight to the front and then back to see how it affects the swing. Hit the ball into sand traps and practice chipping out of them.

5. Speak with the school's golf coach about what is expected of players. Talk about past seasons and get a feel for the ability requirements she is looking for in team players.

6. Show up at tryouts with your clubs and shoes. A great attitude goes a long way with most high school coaches.
