1 Dear Spackenkill Golfers, Welcome to the 2017 season. Spackenkill golf has had some amazing seasons. The Spartan Golf Team were MHAL League Champions in 2016, 2015 and also in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2012 with an excellent 11-0 league record last season and Division Champions for the 11 th consecutive year. Erik Stauderman, Ryan Ackert, Ryan Lo and Zach Cioffi qualified for sectionals in the fall and competed in spring sectionals. Erik and Ryan represented Spackenkill in the Section IX Golf Championship Round in the spring and Erik qualified for the State Tournament with Ryan missing the cut by 8 shots. In the section Erik came in 4 th place and Ryan 17th. Among the State s top 99 golfers Erik came tied for 17th. This is now 5 years in a row that the Spackenkill Golf Team has had a representative in the State Tournament. Also, this past spring 7 Spackenkill golfers competed in the Dutchess County Coaches Invitational Tournament where they completed with the top 21 high school golfers in Dutchess County. Those players that competed for the Spackenkill golf team were: Eric Stauderman (2 nd ), Ryan Ackert (7 th ), Ryan Lo (T11), John Conti (T11), Collin Smith (14 th ), Zach Cioffi (15 th ) and John Timm (20 th ). As golfers graduate, our team will need to work hard to replace their talents. Over the past 4 years 8 players have graduated representing 30 years of Spackenkill Golf experience. There is now a need more the ever for players to lower their scores to compete for positions on the team this year. (6 players compete in a match where the best 4 scores are used.) I hope this will motivate all of you to practice as hard and smart as you can. Those of you LETTER TO PLAYERS returning to the team have the potential to play some great golf. Your work ethic and attitude are the keys to becoming a stronger, more confident golfer, which will easily add to the betterment of the team and your enjoyment of the game. I believe there are five games in the game of golf. The long game The short game Putting The mental game The emotional game. You must work to develop and improve all of these. Practice must be productive. It is not productive to: Stand on the range and see how fast you can empty a bucket of balls. Try to hit the ball somewhere out there. Hit bad shot after bad shot. Drills are used by the pros and therefore should be used by all of our players. I believe that you work hard at practice so that you can have fun in competitions. Golf is a target game. Always have a target! I expect you to read and implement the Practice Procedures outlined in this manual. They are intended to help you become a better player. By doing so, you help both yourself and the team. Spackenkill Varsity Golf Page 1
2 Golf is not a game of perfect, as the title of a widely read book states. No player hits perfect shots all the time. The famous Ben Hogan once said that if he hit three or four perfect shots in a round, that was a lot. The key to good, consistent golf is to make our less than perfect shots not so bad. Recognizing our lack of perfection, we must develop a solid mental approach to the game. Plan your work, and work your plan. Have a strategy in mind before playing a hole. Play the hole in your mind from green to tee, not tee to green. Do not think that if the hole isn t a par 3, you must take driver from the tee. I will be observing carefully for smart golf. That is what brings about good scores, and wins. An integral part of this is having a good, solid, and repetitive pre-shot routine. Related to having a good mental game is knowledge of the rules. They are not just there to penalize you. If you know the rules, you can take advantage of situations and have more strategy options. You will also know if your opponent has not followed them. I expect you to commit to learning the rules! Golf is a game that must be played in the present. Once a shot is played, it is over and there is nothing you can do about it. Getting angry, frustrated, etc. will do nothing to change the result and can only affect your next shot(s) negatively. At the same time, never get ahead of yourself and be thinking of shots you have yet to play, or what your final score may be. Focus on one shot at a time and keep your emotions on an even keel. Never give up! Get the most that you can out of every round. Be in shape. Strength and flexibility are crucial to good golf. We have limited time together, so I expect you to come to the golf season fit for the game. Be sure to stretch and warm up before hitting balls. I will expect players to at least stretch before an away match. Our Captain will be announced during the summer practices. I see the Captain of the team as a player who leads, both in his play as well as his attitude. The Captain is the liaison between the players and the coach. That means that there will be functions and/or instructions I have for the team that will be handled, with full authority, by the Captain. It also means that players may communicate questions or concerns through the Captain, in the event that I am unavailable. Always remember this: CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE WON THROUGH YOUR DAILY WORK ETHIC AND FOCUS. SO ASK YOURSELF EACH DAY IF YOU HAVE EARNED YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP! Yours in good golf, Keith Humphrey Varsity Golf Coach Spackenkill Varsity Golf Page 2
3 Dear Parents, Welcome to the 2017 Spackenkill golf season. Thank you for sharing your golfer with me, and thank you for your help and support. Our program could not run without your being part of it. Golf, or any other sport, is an EXTRA curricular activity. Academics come first. Golfers must make a commitment to the demands of keeping up with their work, achieving satisfactory grades, and be fully available for the time necessary for golf practices and matches. Anything less is unfair to the rest of the team as well as to the individual golfer him/herself. I have been a volunteer coach with Coach Dave Kaplan since 1995 and I am now starting my 14 th year as the head coach. At that time, the golf program was on the verge of collapse. Coach Kaplan had to work and search extensively just to get a minimum of six students to come out for the team. At least half of these students had never really played golf before. Spackenkill golf has had some amazing seasons. The Spartan Golf Team were MHAL League Champions in 2016, 2015 and also in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2012 with an excellent 11-0 league record last season and Division Champions for the 11 th consecutive year. Erik Stauderman, Ryan Ackert, Ryan Lo and Zach Cioffi qualified for sectionals in the fall and competed in spring sectionals. Erik and Ryan represented Spackenkill in the Section IX Golf Championship Round in the spring and Erik qualified for the State Tournament with Ryan missing the cut by 8 shots. In the section Erik came in 4 th place and Ryan 17th. Among the State s top 99 golfers Erik came tied for 17th. This is now 5 years in a row that the Spackenkill Golf Team has had a representative in the State Tournament. LETTER TO PARENTS Also, this past spring 7 Spackenkill golfers competed in the Dutchess County Coaches Invitational Tournament where they completed with the top 21 high school golfers in Dutchess County. Those players that competed for the Spackenkill golf team were: Eric Stauderman (2 nd ), Ryan Ackert (7 th ), Ryan Lo (T11), John Conti (T11), Collin Smith (14 th ), Zach Cioffi (15 th ) and John Timm (20 th ). As golfers graduate, our team will need to work hard to replace their talents. Over the past 4 years 8 players have graduated representing 30 years of Spackenkill Golf experience. There is now a need more the ever for players to lower their scores to compete for positions on the team this year. (6 players compete in a match where the best 4 scores are used.) I hope this will motivate all of you to practice as hard and smart as you can. Those returning to the team have the potential to play some great golf. Their work ethic and attitude are the keys to becoming a stronger, more confident golfer, which will easily add to the betterment of the team and your enjoyment of the game. This season, our goal is to win another league championship and be well represented in the sectionals with the opportunity to send more players to the state tournament. One of my key goals to a strong golf program has always been to keep as many players as possible, so that individuals get a chance to keep their interest in golf and grow as golfers. This will all be dependent on the number of golfers who actually come out for the team. The district s agreement with McCann only allows for only 12 players on the course. This means that some golfers will not get on the course each day. Spackenkill Varsity Golf Page 3
4 Conduct The nature of golf means that players will not be in closely supervised situations a lot of the time. I need to be able to expect that all players conduct follows the rules of golf, the golf course, and the team. If I have doubts about this, it will be very difficult for me to send a particular player in question out on the course. I therefore need your help in emphasizing this to your golfer. Because this is such an important area, there will be a zero tolerance policy in regard to behavior on and at the golf course. Transportation Since the district does not directly provide transportation to the golf course (a bus does go down Wilbur Blvd.), your role as a driver is very important, and appreciated. Players must be to the course at their designated time. My cell phone is usually available for players to call for rides, but they should be ready to use the pay phone or use another cell phone, just in case. Please remember, I can t leave until all players are picked up. When we go to away matches, we will leave from, and return to the high school. Departure time will be announced to the players going. They are expected to be on time, and we will leave without someone who is late. Players will call for pickup when we are about minutes from the high school so that their rides are waiting for them. If you should have any questions or concerns, please consult the Team Information Sheet for contact numbers. Sincerely, Keith Humphrey Varsity Golf Coach Spackenkill Varsity Golf Page 4

(You can t do this well unless you know the rules.) 2. Record scores accurately and honestly. 3. Follow golf etiquette play with consideration toward other golfer; play at a good pace. Your job is to keep up with the group ahead of you, not stay ahead of the group behind; replace divots, rake bunkers, repair all ball marks. 4. Control yourself! No cursing and/or yelling. No slamming or throwing clubs, balls, or any other objects!! You will only get one warning. Penalties may include, but not be limited to, suspension from a match or the team. 5. At the conclusion of every round, practice or match, you are expected to remove your hat and shake hands with all the other players in your group. Please make this a habit! 1. After every round, you are to record your statistics in the team record book. 2. Remain in your proper golf attire. 3. No fooling around or horsing around. You are not on school property and others use the golf course. 4. Even if you have finished your required practice, you are expected to use your time productively. 5. Make sure you have arranged for your ride. Spackenkill Varsity Golf Page 6
7 FOR THE RANGE: PRACTICE PROCEDURES AND EXPECTATIONS 1. I expect to see alignment clubs used. 2. I expect to see preshot routines practiced. 3. I expect to see varied targets used. If I come up to you and ask, I expect you to, very specifically, tell me what your target is. 4. I expect to see some stretching before hitting. 5. I expect to see players performing drills. 6. I expect to see players helping each other. I want created a team atmosphere in an individual sport. THE PUTTING GREEN: This is where your practice of chipping, putting, and pitching should represent at least 60% of your practice time. 1. I expect you to putt before and after every round you play, except for matches. 2. I expect you to hit at least 30 chips and 30 pitches each day. Your goal should be to get 7 of every 10 within 3 feet of the hole, from whatever distance away you are. 3. I expect you to do at least half of our listed putting drills each and every day. You should hit a minimum of between 50 and 100 putts. Players are encouraged to play putting games as part of their practice. PUTTING DRILLS AND GAMES Lag putting to different targets Make 50 in a row drill Lag putting to the fringe Heads or tails drill Guess your distance drill Make drill Ladder drill Drawback 3 foot circle drill Safety drawback Spackenkill Varsity Golf Page 7
8 THE BUNKER: Players are expected to do bunker work at least twice a week, and should hit at least 20 bunker shots each time. SUGGESTION: I would suggest writing these requirements on an index card that you keep in your golf bag. I will not necessarily say anything about these expectations. They are meant to help you become a better player. That is what gets you in matches, as well as the work ethic exhibited by you when you do this practice. PRACTICE TIMES: Practice will be held every weekday, unless otherwise noted. Players are to report at the designated time, and should not leave until all required practice is over. Do not be late, or tell me in advance why you may be late. It is even more important to tell me in advance if you have a legitimate reason to miss a practice. Lack of communication causes many problems. Unless you hear an announcement canceling practice because of weather, assume there is practice. If you arrive early, do not waste time. More practice is better than less, so get to work! TEAM RECORD BOOK Before you leave any practice (or match) where you have played 9 holes, you are expected to fill out a data sheet in the TEAM RECORD BOOK. If you play in an away match, I will have extra data sheets on the bus, and you are expected to fill one out before we get back. You are expected (even in matches) to always keep track of the categories listed so you can accurately fill out a data sheet. Failure to do so can result in not playing in the next match.
