III. Golf Attire During Tryouts and for the Season

  1. Clothing

1. No one is allowed to wear mesh shorts, jean shorts, or jeans during tryouts or during the season. Also no sports jerseys, tank tops, or cut off tee shirts. This is not proper golf attire at any course. Some of the visiting courses we play will not let you off the bus if you have these items on. Khaki pants, khaki shorts, collared shirts, and nice tee shirts are acceptable.

  1. Shoes
  2. Shoes that cannot be worn on the course are as follows: Hard spiked golf shoes, baseball cleats, soccer cleats, boots, or sandals. You can wear regular athletic shoes or soft spiked golf shoes.

IV. Golf Courses to practice at…(We will play at these during the season.)

Lost Nation G.C., Punderson G.C.,Painsville C.C., Legend Lakes C.C., Airport Greens G.C.,Powderhorn G.C., ErieShores, Manakiki G.C., Chapel Hills G.C., Shawnee Hills G.C., Hemlock Springs G.C., and possibly others.

V. Summer Golf

The summer golf program is typically available one day per week over the summer. Students interested in trying out for the North High Boys Golf Team can play at Lost Nation Golf Course one day a week with the coaches at a reduced rate of $5 for nine holes. We have not yet settled on a weekday yet but will inform you when we receive notice that the program can continue to be offered.

VI. Final Thoughts

A. There are 14 to 16 spots on the golf team. Any student interested no matter if they are a beginner or experienced, is encouraged to tryout. Your score, no matter how high, does not matter to us, we can work to make you better. The last four years we haven’t made any team cuts because not enough students show up so we have kept everyone. Also, please let any friends know about the tryouts and have them pick up information from the athletic office.

B. If you have any questions during the summer contact the athletic office at 975-3677.

Good luck, see you in August,

Mr. Kozlevcar, Varsity Coach
