Golf
Whitman Hanson 2023 Golf Tryouts
First things first:
Complete the Parent/Guardian Permission Slip, found on whathletics.com
Complete the Student Concussion PreTest, also found on whathletics.com
Either have a current (they expire after 13 months) physical exam on file with the school nurse, or submit a current physical exam to the school nurse.
* All players trying out must have the above information filled out and taken care of PRIOR to the day of tryouts. You will not be able to tryout if you do not - there are no exceptions to this!
Tryout #1: Monday, 8/21 (check in @ 8:45 am)
Tryouts begin at 9am at the driving range. Athletes are expected to meet at the bay (closest to the road and nearest the practice sand trap) to check in with Coach Dempsey by 8:45 am.
Tryout #2: Tuesday, 8/22 (check in time TBD)
Athletes will play 9 holes beginning at 1:50. You will be assigned times to report to the course prior to designated tee times in order to spread out the crowd and cut back on wait time.
Tryout #3: Wednesday, 8/23 (check in time TBD)
Athletes will again play on the course, potentially for 18 holes this day, beginning at 11:50. Again, tee times and groupings will be assigned and distributed prior to.
APPROPRIATE GOLF ATTIRE IS EXPECTED AND REQUIRED. Please be prepared to attend for those three days. Due to sharing the course with another school also trying out, along with the general public, I do not have the flexibility to go outside of these times.
Ridder Farm Golf Course
Each athlete trying out will be given a round of golf (9 or 18 holes - determined by the course). During that time, you will be randomly placed in a foursome. Each player is required to walk the course, carrying your own bag (unless you have medical documentation that says otherwise).
COURSE AND LEAGUE RULES TO KNOW:
Stroke play is the format, meaning every stroke counts.
No player can score higher than double par (i.e. if it's a par 3, the max you can score is a 6).
Range finders are allowed, but only for distance.
No caddies or spectators allowed.
No shared equipment (clubs/balls) - everyone must have their own.
No cell phones permitted during play.
Proper golf attire required (collared shirt, no cut offs)
** Based on numbers this year, it looks like we'll have to make cuts. We plan on keeping 14-16 golfers, based on a combination of skills and etiquette at a varsity level. There is no exact score that will "make the cut" as that can differ year to year based on the number and ability of golfers trying out.
** Please contact Coach Dempsey with any questions (brian.dempsey@whrsd.org)
Cross Country
Practice for both Boys and Girls Cross Country will be held at the Track, Monday, August 21st through Thursday, August 24th at 2:30PM-4:15PM, on Friday August 25th at 2:30PM-3:45PM and on Saturday, August 26th at 9:00-10:15AM. Weather appropriate clothing and footwear should be worn. Each athlete should bring his/her own water bottle to every practice. In order to participate in practice, all candidates must (1) complete the online Permission Form, (2) take the concussion pre test, and (3) have an up-to-date physical exam form on file with the school nurse.
