Hello all,Â
 I would like all parents and players to watch the following 3 videos and read the article linked before tryouts in August. I know many of you have played tournament golf before and this might be a review for you, but that is okay I WANT EVERYONE TO WATCH THE VIDEOS below. Some of you have not played tournament golf before and that’s okay as well. However, you will need to know the basic rules that these videos teach in order to try out and successfully complete TRYOUTS AND COMPETE IN TOURNAMENTS. The pace of play and following all rules of golf will be very important through tryouts and in our High School tournaments. IT IS EACH PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW THE RULES. CLAMMING IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING THE RULES OF GOLF OR PLAYING SLOWLY. Slow play will be penalized in both tryouts and tournament play throughout the season.Â

• DCHS Cheating Policy •
This is the official warning for Cheating on the golf course, this includes tryouts, practice rounds, or tournaments both for Varsity and JV. Players who cheat in any way shape or form will be dismissed from the DCHS golf team with no refunds of any fees paid. You are responsible for knowing the rules.Â
 The Douglas County high school boys golf program does not cover the tryout round greens fees. The greens fees will be paid for by the player trying out. Greens fees will vary from course to course. I will let you all know what the green fees are just as soon as courses get back to me and are locked in. If a player is wanting to or expecting to make varsity and play in our first Varsity tournaments they must have played in and logged scores for all tryout rounds, whether they be 18-hole rounds or 9-hole rounds. All players trying out must have their own golf bag and clubs. Players must have enough balls in their bags to finish the round.Â
If you have any questions about any part of the registration process you can reach out to Mrs. Susie Eilers the DCHS athletic secretary at Susie Eilers <sjeilers@dcsdk12.org>Â Phone:Â
Coach Turnbaugh can not help with the registration process.Â
Looking forward to a competitive enjoyable 2023 Men’s golf season.Â
As always you can reach me at cnturnbaugh@dcsdk12.org or 303-416-0896Â
Thanks!
- Greens fees are $25-$30
-  Players must pay the golf shop for their round and for any practice balls that they may want to hit before they play the actual round. The school does not pay for any tryout rounds. If a player makes the golf team, all following practice rounds, as well as tournament rounds, will be covered by the DCHS golf program. 

- 
  Players must have their own clubs, balls, rain gear, etc to try out. Please come prepared for any type of weather! It would be wise to bring rain gear including an umbrella. Players will play in the rain. The round will only be stopped if there is lightning in the area. If it’s raining with no lighting in the area play will continue. Please be prepared. 

- Â Players can not count on the golf course having water on the course so they will need to bring their own water
- 
  Golf is a game of absolute integrity. All strokes must be counted and all USGA golf rules will be followed. There are no gimmies, mulligans, free drops, etc. Please review this website if you need to learn the rules of golf.  https://www.usga.org/rules-
hub.html Â
It is the responsibility of each player to know the golf rules before trying out. Coaches will assist in making rulings during tryouts only. They will not teach rules during tryouts. 

• Players will be responsible for keeping their score and the score of one other player during the round. Scores must be verified between players after completing each hole and before teeing off on the next hole. At the end of the round players will review all scores and make sure that all scores match. After scores have been verified and scores are all correct, players will sign the scorecard of the player that they took score for and then sign their own scorecard once it is given back to them. All signed scorecards must be given to Coach Turnbaugh immediately.
 Even though this video was made for US kids golfers, which is a junior tournament golf organization. It shows you the basics of how to keep score during a tournament round of golf. Please watch this video to learn how to, or refresh yourself on how to keep your score as well as a competitor’s score and what to do with the scorecards before and after the round of golf.
• The pace of play will be monitored closely and slow play will not be tolerated. Penalty strokes will be added to a player’s score if they continue to play slowly after one warning from a coach. Players will play ready golf at all times during the round. Ready golf means there are no honors etc. The player who is ready to play their shot will play regardless of the score that they got on the previous hole. All golfers need to watch this video before playing their rounds.
