Description of Program:

The MIHS Boys Golf team has become a perennial powerhouse in Kingco with multiple titles achieved in the last decade.  The MIHS Boys Golf program helps competitive golfers improve their game by being more efficient in course management and strategy, shot and club selection, working with problem shots, and gaining more knowledge about the rules and etiquette necessary to play golf as it should be played.  Through daily driving range use, on-course playing lessons, and weekly matches, the MIHS Golf program does not teach athletes how to play the game of golf, rather we focus on how to be successful at the competitive level, while also placing emphasis on sportsmanship and etiquette. 

Expectations for playing on the MIHS Golf Team:

Basic scoring criteria (based on 18 holes, stroke play):

JV: 100 – 85, consistently

Varsity: 85 – Par, consistently

Be dedicated to the game of golf and the State Championship success of the MIHS Golf Team.

How to Improve your Golf Game over the Summer:

All competitive golfers take lessons, even professionals. During the summer months, to maximize my players’ abilities and to best learn the difficult game of golf, I recommend that my players take private swing lessons, participate in junior golf camps, play regularly, and compete in junior golf tournaments. Swing lessons are key in helping kids understand the game and develop their skills. Try to get a series of consecutive lessons with the same instructor for the best results.

 The more comfortable and experienced players are in pressure situations, the better they will perform and the more consistent they will become during the high school season. Besides the junior organizations listed below, many local courses (both public and private) have junior tournaments.
