only for them.
(Knowing the pace of |

Do you want to play golf for Great Oak High School during the
2025-2026 season? |
|
|
GET CLEARED TO PLAY IN OCTOBER TRYOUTS |
| Tryout rounds
will be played at Redhawk (from the blue and black tees) on
Wednesdays throughout the month of October. |
| If you are
involved in a different sport during the fall season, let me (Coach
Boyatt) know before the October tryouts and I will arrange |
| an alternate
date for you to try out. |
|
|
|
What do I need to do to try out for the boys' golf team? |
|
1)
Get cleared to play sports at GOHS. (It requires a sports
physical, so plan ahead.) |
|
Here is the link for instructions to get cleared. |
|
2)
When players are cleared, I will list them on this page.
If you are not on this page before the week of tryouts, you
will not be allowed on the course. |
|
3)
I would love to get to know you.
If you are on campus, stop by my classroom (357) and
introduce yourself. |
|
Or, send me an email
-- jboyatt@tvusd.us It is
always exciting to meet new players that are interested in the team. |
|
|
Why are tryouts held in October for a spring sport? |
| 1) Daylight
savings ends in early November. After that date, it is impossible
to play nine holes after school. |
| 2) Many of
the players that make the team will be allowed to enroll in a 6th
period PE class that will allow them to go to the golf course after
5th period. |
| Since
the new semester begins in January, the tryouts need to be held
before then so schedules can be adjusted. |
| 3)
Any fundraising that needs to get done will be completed
between November & February so we have the funds needed to run the
program. |
|
|
|
What Will I Have to Shoot to Make the Team? |
| Look at the
scores for the returning players on the "2025" page.
That will give you a general idea how our returning players
scored last year. |
|
|
PURPOSE OF OCTOBER TRYOUTS |
| New Players: |
|
1)
Obviously, to see what newcomers will make our rosters this
season |
|
| Returning
Players: |
| 1)
I like to get everyone on the squad back together for a few
days. Not only to see how our
games have improved since last season, |
|
but to get to know the
new players on the team.
Hopefully you can start playing with them in the months before the
season begins. |
| 2)
It is meaningful to give players a sense of where they stand
on the team. It will motivate
some borderline players to work harder before February. |
| 3)
We need to get everyone playing
Redhawk. Most of you
play elsewhere in the off-season. |
| Our league
championship will depend on how well we play at home. |
| 4)
We need to finalize a roster.
We will complete our fundraising efforts before the season
starts in February. |
|
We only want you to
help us raise money if it is certain you will be on the team. |
|
| In an effort
to keep the number of players manageable at Redhawk this season, we
are going to carry EIGHT players. |
| Eight players
is a good number to have on the squad. |
| That allows
us to play at Redhawk in two groups, and allows a competitive
environment from the top to bottom. |
| As a varsity
match includes only six players, that allows us to have one extra
foursome with two "alternates" from each school playing. |
| Home Matches
at Redhawk -- All eight boys can play |
| Away Matches
in the Valley -- Sometimes teams allow us to bring two extra
players. If so, all eight
boys can play. |
| Away Matches
& Tournaments -- We only take six players, as that is all we can fit
in the rental vehicle. |
| Yes,
returning players may be cut if there are newcomers with lower
scores. |
|
| Are you
wondering where your 18-hole average would stack up to |
| the six
players returning to the team?
Here are their averages for |
|
the 2024-2025 season: |
|
1)
Dominic Willson - Soph. (72.6) |
| 2) Harrison
Budz - Junior (77.7) |
| 3) Kyle Yoda
- Soph. (79.8) |
| 4) Ryan
Hathorn - Senior (85.5) |
| 5) Thomas
Sandifer - Junior (85.8) |
| 6) Max Layton
- Senior (96.7) |
| 7 & 8)
We only have six players returning -- so we will take the
best two players at tryouts for sure. |
|
|
How much does it cost to be a part of the team? |
| The state of
California says that a player will be provided a high school
athletic experience, regardless of his ability to pay. |
| The district
funds a stipend for a varsity golf coach, transportation to league
matches, and a portion of our postseason expenses. |
| A player is
entitled to that experience without having to pay a penny. |
| Other than
that core experience, the program feels that it is important to do
other optional things to keep our program strong. |
| If we work
together to raise money, we will be able to do things that go above
and beyond a league schedule.
Optional expenses include things such as: |
|
- Quality uniforms
(Two shirts, pants, shorts, hat, pullover) |
|
- A personalized
golf bag for players to keep |
|
- Transportation to
play in quality non-league matches |
|
- Entry fees in
invitational tournaments |
|
- End of the year
banquet |
|
- Team meals when we
travel |
|
| In the past,
we were able to meet most of these expenses thanks to the fundraiser
efforts of our parents. |
| We will have
a meeting with all of the families at the conclusion of October
tryouts to discuss ways that we can make this happen. |
| If we are
unable to raise the money, we can cut back our expenses.
(Fewer tournaments, less gear, etc.) |
