Coach: Lauren Cate
General Policies:
Have fun and enjoy being on the Creekside Girls Team
Be early…ready to start practice 5 minutes prior to practice beginning.
Cell phones, I pods, and other electronic devices should be off and out of sight during practices and at matches.
Always respect your self, coaches, teammates, opponents, all golf course employees, golf shop staff, and the golf course.
Good Sportsmanship and positive attitude is always required.
Dress in appropriate golf attire for matches, practices, and anytime you are on a golf course or at a range facility. Flips flops, short shorts, and jeans are never appropriate. For ladies, short sleeve shirts may or may not have collars. Sleeveless shirts must have collars.
Your actions, both verbal and non-verbal reflect you, your family, your school and your coaches. As an athlete, you automatically are held to a higher standard and accept the responsibility of being a role model to your peers and to all people younger and older than yourself.

2. Unexcused absence from practice will drop that player from the roster until next practice is attended.
3. Two unexcused missed practices will drop that player from the team.
4. Three unexcused absences will drop that player from the roster.
