The following information and opportunities are for both boys and girls interested in playing golf at Fox High School next school year.  

First, the girls golf season begins on Monday August 1st.  Girl golfers will need a completed physical on file with the athletic office prior to practice/tryouts.  Forms and more information will be available on the Fox Golf website and are included in this handout.  The Fox Athletic Department is hosting a sports physical session on Thursday, May 19th.  See the attached letter for more info.

The boys’ season begins late February/early March.  The will be an announcement made over the school intercom in January about a preseason meeting.  Check the golf website often for information, and see Coach Boyd in room 208 at Fox High School with any questions.

The Fox Golf program will be meeting throughout the summer for some evenings at the range and to play nine holes at Pomme Creek Golf Course, the team’s home course.

We will meet at the First Tee Driving Range on Lemay Ferry Rd. on the following dates…

Thursday June 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and July 7, 21

Range sessions will run from 7pm-8pm. Golfers should bring $2 to give to coach, and coach will be able get double balls put on the high school card.  

The first time we’ll meet is Thursday June 2nd.  It would be great if everyone came out for the first range date and we could get to know everyone.  Please plan on making this first date.  

We will also be meeting at our home course, Pomme Creek, on the following dates…

Tuesday June 7, 14, 21, 28 and July 5, 19  

Golfers will need to bring a student picture ID and $8 with them in order to get the Fox golfer rate of $8 to walk nine holes.  Pay at the clubhouse then meet at the putting green at 3:30pm on June 7. Practice will be over around 5:30/6pm.  Don’t worry if you haven’t golfed a lot in the past.  The playing formats will be fun and instructional.  The times for July 5 & 19 will be announced at a later date.  We will most likely meet at 1:30pm on those days, but that will be confirmed later by checking the website and through Twitter.

There will be other opportunities throughout the summer to play golf with Fox coaches and returning members.  Often, plans are made to meet up at a local course to play 18 holes on Friday mornings. Boys’ assistant coach Scott Neibert will often coordinate outings with returning golfers, and new golfers to the program are welcome to join in. Area courses usually accommodate our high school golfers with discounted rates.  Plans are usually made on Tuesdays at Pomme to make tee times for the upcoming Friday.  We will also put the info on the website and Twitter as well.  We will share contact/text information during our first range and Pomme sessions so that everyone can be kept “in the loop”.  

For those experienced golfers and golfers returning to the program, consideration should be made to play in Gateway Jr. PGA tournaments and Accelerated Golf Tour tournaments.  Info on both of these organizations and their tournament schedules are attached and a link can be found to both on the left side of the Fox Golf website under “Summer Golf”.  Info about the Jefferson County league is also included on the webpage.

Please understand that everyone is welcome to come out and participate, regardless of ability level.  We will keep things simple and enjoyable.

If you have any questions, please email me at the address above.

Thanks,

Everyone seemed to have a good time at the banquet on Thursday. Thanks to all the parents and family for the support throughout the year. Seniors Alec Stirnemann and Kody Flamm were recognized for their Fox Golf careers, and Golfer of the Year awards went to JV- McGwire Hathaway and Varsity- Paul Henderson.

We will be having our banquet Thursday evening in the cafeteria at Fox High School. Casual dress and we'll start eating at 6pm. Boys should bring their empty golf bags to the banquet to turn in. See you then. 

Season Ends at Sectionals

The season ended today for our sectional qualifiers , but valuable experience was gained for next year. We will celebrate this season on Thursday at our banquet in the Fox High School cafeteria. If you haven't turned in banquet info, you need to do so tomorrow, Tuesday, to Coach Boyd in room 208. 

Warrior Wrecking Crew

Great job by the Warrior Wrecking Crew this morning setting up the inflatables for Guffey Elementary's Fun Day. 

Inflatables at Guffey

Starting a few years ago, Guffey Elementary began using the Fox Golf program to put up the inflatables and bouncy houses for their Fun Day. Tomorrow, Friday morning is the day. We are meeting at Guffey at 6am and we will be done by 6:45am so that everyone can get to school on time. If you get dropped off at Guffey, Coach Boud can give you a ride to school in the school van. Varsity golfers need to be there. JV golfers should try to be there. Guffey pays the program well for our work which helps cover some of our golfing expenses. 

Fox 5th of 10 at Districts; Qualify two

The Warriors traveled to Fox Run today for the MSHSAA Class 4 District 1 Tournament and had their best team finish of the season.  Juniors Paul Henderson and Ryan Lourance shot well enough to quailify for Sectionals on Monday at Algonquin CC. The cut was 93, and Paul's 88 and Ryan's 90 were good enough to extend their season.
