Anybody out there play on your High School golf team? This time of year I always monitor the Aggies golf progress on www.golfstat.com and for the last few years the state of Oregon has had their state finals scores posted. It amazes me had bad some of the scores are. A girl in 6A (I assume that's the highest) shot 195-122. How do you shot 195?? If you 4 putt every green, it's still taking almost 7 to get it there. And then after that, how are you 73 shots better the next day?? Putting, I guess

Look at the scores in the lower divisions, 54 of 90 girls averaged a 100 or worse on a 5248 yard course. That's 60%. It seems like the teams that make it to the finals would have better golfers. I guess not. I understand that some school may have 1 or 2 kids really into golf and they fill out the team with people who aren't to serious but the team that finished last had a best round of 10 at 114. Didn't they have to beat other teams to get to the state championships?

The teams that finished last in 6A had 2 girls shot 114. The rest in the 120s. So, is that the way it is in Texas? Seems a bit weird to me.


Edit:
I guess I should add that I understand Texas has a lot better golf than Oregon but those numbers still shock me.

The girls scores are at the very bottom.

I played highschool golf, but I am a male and shoot in the 80's and posted one in the 70's and that wasn't great by any means, but it wasnt terrible either

You can check out the Texas State Championships here. Yes, those scores were awful. I'm sure they're not the norm. In 2001 my DD won the TX 5A championship with a 2 day total of 142. At the time there was a ton of talent in Texas for both boys and girls. We still have a lot of talent here IMO.

I'm all about making fun of girls in lower division high schools in rural Oregon, but sadly my golf score is in the 200's.

I was the 5th best guy on my varsity high school team...shooting in the 80s.

Yes, the girls are terrible.

Terrible.

i played golf at southlake

the guys were good from 03-05

the girls just won the state tourny this year.....we've always had a few girls that could shoot in the 70s
