Tiger is a Solid Player

While this epic putt locked it up for Tiger again, be reminded that he wouldn't have even been close to winning if he wasn't able to save strokes after making mistakes at 14 (plugged in bunker), 16 (pitch out from rough), 18 the day before (up and down for bogey from 140 - no pushups), 1 on the first day (pitch in from 30 yards), and many other great up and downs. His ability to play efficiently and save strokes is what gave him a chance to win.

LeBron enters the Arena

Eric suggested this clip. At 8:25, Lebron talks about success and not being afraid to fail.

Padraig Harrington on "Entering the Arena"

Coach Newton suggested that you guys watch this video which features Padraig Harrington talking about his major victories. The first minute and a half is Wilson clubs promotion stuff, which you can skip, but pay attention after that. Especially at about 4:05 when he says "I understand that you can win and lose in this game. The idea is to put your head on the line, put your neck out there. Take your chances. Some days it will go in, some days it won't. I'll hit the shot, take it on, it's my responsibility, and I can win it here and now."



This is video emphasizes what Coach Bean was talking about yesterday. We want you guys to develop the mindset where you are unafraid to take on a challenge where there is a possibility of failure.

Varsity Captain Interview Schedule

Here is the schedule for the captains interviews on Thursday. Interviews will last approximately 10 minutes and will be held in the school. Specific location of the interviews will be announced on Wednesday. As I mentioned in practice today, questions will be tailored to your individual circumstances and how you could help the team as a captain. If I were you, I would anticipate the types of things we may ask you and have answers prepared.

Tryout Information: March 9th and 10th

Players and Parents:

On Monday March 9th and Tuesday March 10th here are the tryout times:

Group 1: Putting technique, 250-350pm, Okemos High School (meet outside athletic office)** Bring putter, 5 golf balls, two irons, and your golf shoes. Also, bring any training aids that you typically use for your putting stroke (if you usually use any).

Bloom, Castellani, Chapman, Domagalski, Doyle, Grisdela, Hubbard, Luoma, Olsen, Stump


Group 2: Full swing practice/tryout, Forest Akers Heated Range, 300-400pm Forest Akers East Course **Bring at least a short iron, mid iron, fairway wood, and driver

**Bring at least a short iron, mid iron, fairway wood, and driver

Group 3: Anderson, Casler, Freund, Hite, Kim, Kosloski, Kribs, Park


I realize that a 4pm start for some of you is inconvenient. Until the weather improves and we are able to hit outside we are faced with the logistical challenge of being limited to a set number of hitting stalls at Forest Akers. In order for all players to get a fair look from the coaches we need to split the squad during tryouts. We will try to rotate tryout times as much as possible.
