Girls' Varsity Golf

The Varsity Girl's Golf team was officially established in the spring of 2006. After two years of playing competitive matches on a sub varsity level the program was ready to move to the next level. Having Watertown Golf Club, a championship 18-hole golf course right in our back yard is a terrific advantage. Practice facilities and rights to use the course helps the players improve their overall skill. One focus of the program is a commitment to honoring of the game of golf. This growing sport has become very popular because of the competitive, yet social atmosphere. The program challenges individuals to improve their individual skills, so that the team reaps the benefit. Thirteen girls participated in the inaugural year program, but only the top five play in "official" matches. The interscholastic competition is match-play and the scoring is as such: a win receives one point, a loss zero points and an all-square match receives half a point; often matches would come down to the final putt on the ninth hole.
