What about two HS golf seasons?

[ladiesbballcoach]

Fall season is as is.

 

Spring season becomes a Ryder Cup type format for matches.

 

Each HS team has three two-person teams.

 

One team plays scramble format.

One team plays best ball format.

One team plays alternating shot format.

 

You win or lose a hole and go one up or one down and continue on with that scoring.

I dont think that is really going to be beneficial to the kids. I would rather see it be straight up match play than that.

Great idea, but it would never fly with the folks at the KHSAA office. One season is plenty in my opinion.

Agree... If they wanted a real season it would be hard to be done by the time graduation comes due to the weather

Baseball has fall ball and football has spring league, so I would like to see Golf get the same shake as the other sports. We should also be allowed to play spring league golf, the same time as football does, with each school getting 3 matches and a tourney or something like that! Seems like that would be fair to me, what do the rest of you think about it?

I think it would be an interesting concept, but maybe have tourneys only, similar to what the colleges do in the fall? It could be an opportunity for schools to use the tourney concept as a fund raiser as well?? As long as coaches don't penalize multi-sport kids for not participating, or use it to pressure kids into giving up baseball/track/etc.

4-5 tournaments max they could play in for the spring. Maybe not even any state tournament, just allowing 6-8 weeks of Sat only tournaments. I could live with that. Not individual play as that it reserved for Fall but some different Ryder Cup play. Doubles competition similar to what tennis does.

I really wouldn't care how they let us play it, I would just like to get maybe the whole month of April to play. Whether it be Team matches, Tournaments, both, etc. Would be nice for the kids that are not doing anything else in the spring to be able to do something that is school involved. Helps keep them out of trouble. Would we have to bring something up like this in front of a policy board or how could we get some suggestions to the right people?

One potential problem for the girls or boys would be spring sports.I know their are girls and boys on golf teams in the fall that play softball and baseball in the spring.

[Master of the Hardwood]

You wouldn't make it mandatory, it's just for the kids that aren't doing anything else. That is why you may not be able to have matches, maybe just do individual tourneys or double's matches. Just something for the kids to be doing that have nothing else to do.

There is fall Baseball, but the high school coach’s are not allowed to give instructions or be associated with their team in any way. The fall leagues are either organized by baseball academies such as Champions Sports (out of Lexington) or individuals that just love the game and organize their own fall league for high school teams or individual players.

 

Maybe, high school golf could find a sponsor for the spring, like Pepsi is in the summer, or have the Pepsi tour start in April. Just a thought.

 

I agree with you 100%, I would like to see all non-revenue sports get the same shake as the revenue sports (football/basketball).

From what I understand, I think a proposal has to be written up and taken to the big board meeting they have in October I think it is in Lexington. So everyone come up with their own proposal and send it in through your athletic director or principal and we will see how they feel about it then.
