Golf
Team Mission Statement
To expose and educate young men and women student athletes to
the inherently positive values associated with the game of golf.
Honesty – the quality or state of being truthful; not
deceptive. Golf is unique from other sports in that players regularly
call penalties on themselves.
Integrity – strict
adherence to a standard of value or conduct. Personal honesty
and independence. Golf is a game of
honesty, etiquette and composure. You are responsible for your
actions and personal conduct on the golf course.
Sportsmanship – observing the rules of play and winning
or losing with grace. You must know and abide by the rules of
golf and be able to conduct yourself in a respectful manner.
Respect – to feel or show deferential regard for; esteem.
In golf it is important to show respect for yourself, your coach,
your opponents and the golf course, as well as for the honors
and traditions of the game.
Confidence – reliance or trust. A feeling of self-assurance.
Confidence plays a key role in the level that you achieve. You
must have confidence in the abilities every time you play.
Responsibility – accounting
for one's actions. Dependable. In golf, you are responsible for
yourself and your actions on
the course. It is up to you to keep scores, repair divots, rake
bunkers, repair ball marks on the green and keep up with the
pace of play.
Perseverance – to
persist in an idea, purpose or task despite obstacles. To succeed
in golf, you must learn to persevere through
bad breaks and your own mistakes.
Courtesy – considerate behavior toward others. A polite
remark or gesture. A round of golf should begin and end with
a handshake between fellow competitors. Show courtesy toward
others by remaining still and quiet while they prepare to execute
a shot.
Judgment – the
ability to make a decision or form an opinion. A decision reached
after consideration. Using good judgment is
critical in golf. It comes into play when deciding on strategy,
club selection, when to play safe and when to take a chance,
the type of shot you consider executing, as well as understanding
and abiding by etiquette.
