January 7,2009 Team Meeting Summary
Buff Platt needs our boys to earn community service hours helping him run the First Tee program at Twin Lakes. Not only a great way for our players to develop leadership skills, but also to encourage young golfers to choose San Marcos as their school of choice. There will be four 9 week sessions, beginning next Tues. Tues/Thurs from 3:30 to 5:00 and Saturdays from 8:00 to 9:00. Contact Coach Siordia to sign up. All Royal golfers are expected to help with community service projects. Coach Siordia and Solis are finalizing the practice and match schedules. They will be posted on our web site and emailed out to parents. JV try out times will be posted in the next couple of weeks. Varsity tryouts (open to all who qualify for the program) will be held February 17,18,19 at 1 pm at Sandpiper, Rancho San Marcos and Twin Lakes. All seniors are exempt from tryouts. Good luck! Players will need to maintain a 2.0 GPA to remain eligible to participate in the golf program. A dress code will be enforced for practice and matches. Collared shirt tucked in. No jeans, cargo pants or cargo shorts. Golf hats only. Well dressed Royal golfers respect the course, the game and their school!! All players who have not participated in a sport year to date, need to get a Physical Release Form. You can go online to the San Marcos web site to download a form or pick one up in the main office. They are blue and located on the activity table across from Ms Anderson. Don’t wait until the last minute…do it today. Plans for the RAG-T are progressing. Many thanks to Jennifer Deacon for the fundraising letter that she has developed. It is professional and inspirational and I’m sure you will all be proud to send it out to family, friends and potential corporate sponsors. Stewart White and Debbie Dalee are hard at work on the RAG-T. Each player needs to put together a 5 man team and to sell a minimum of $100 in raffle tickets ($5 each). The golfer that sells the most wins a new custom putter!! Fitness training will continue with Kevin Brown. Ongoing sessions at $80 for 8 weeks…join when you can. Core fitness for improved golf…you did want to make varsity, right?? Thanks parents for your continued support, and to our coaches for their hard work and enthusiasm.
