Girls Golf
Coaching Staff
Program Description
Varsity Team
The varsity team will consist of 6 to 7 players. Golf matches are restricted to 6 players where the top (four) scores will be used in scoring the team event. These players will be determined by golfing in a qualifying round (9 or 18 holes) at the beginning of the season, with periodic qualifying rounds at the coach’s discretion throughout the season. A player’s qualification at the beginning of the season does not ensure a full season of varsity play. Coaches will make decisions as necessary throughout the season to ensure the most competitive team is represented at matches. Varsity players will play in the preset golf conference matches, conference tournament, non-conference scheduled matches and sectional play through the Minnesota State High School League.
JV Team
The junior varsity team will consist of 6 to 7 players. JV golf matches are restricted to 6 players where the top (four) scores will be used in scoring the team event. These players will be determined by golfing in a qualifying round (9 or 18 holes) at the beginning of the season, with periodic qualifying rounds at the coach’s discretion throughout the season. JV players may get an opportunity to play at the Varsity level throughout the season. This will be determined at the coach’s discretion and/or through qualifying rounds throughout the season. JV players will play in at least three scheduled conference matches and any additional JV matches scheduled with non-conference schools.
