On March 3,4,10,11, students from all grades are trying out for the St. George’s Golf Team of 2015. The tryout consists of a 9 hole tryout at the University Golf Club. Golfers play approximately 2 rounds of 9 holes. After the golfers play their rounds of golf, they are interviewed by the coaches of the team (Mr. Proznick, Dr. Mercer, Mr. Wohlgemuth). Furthermore, the students are not only evaluated on their golf skills, but also on their attitude toward the game.
This year, the players St. George’s Golf team will be competing in various events. For instance, golf games are played each week with other schools such as STM or St. John at different golf courses. Furthermore, on April 10-11, there will be the annual Saints Open which is hosted at McCleery and Fraserview Golf Course. (For those who want to compete in the tournament, sign up fast because there are limited spots available! Anyone can join).
