From The President
High School Golf Coaches, Players and Supporters of Indiana High School Golf,
Believe it or not, the start of the girls’ high school golf season is just over 2 weeks away. I want to remind all of you who are coaching a girls’ high school golf team this fall of a few important dates and make you aware of some new resources that may help you and your team this spring.
Critical Dates:
First Official Practice Date: July 27
First Contest Date: July 30
Sectionals: September 14, 15 or 17
Regionals: September 22
State Finals: September 28 and 29
Girls Awards Banquet: October 5
All-State Awards
In the past there have been questions about the nomination procedures and protocol for the IHSGCA All-State and Academic All-State teams. Unfortunately in prior years some coaches have not timely submitted their nomination forms for the IHSGCA All-State and Academic All-State teams or timely paid their annual IHSGCA dues. A coach must be a current paid IHSGCA member prior to nominating a player for either IHSGCA All-State team, and late forms for the either All-State team will not be accepted. Below please find the critical dates and nomination protocol.
IHSGCA Girls All-State Team
- Nomination Form Submission Deadline: Tuesday, September 18, 2018, 4pm EST. No late Forms accepted. No exceptions.
- The candidate’s coach MUST be a paid member of the IHSGCA two (2) weeks prior to day of their Sectional (All Sectional play this fall occurs on 9/14, 9/15 or 9/17). I strongly recommend you have your membership dues paid by the middle of August 2018.
- Coaches can pay their membership dues online using our website (www.ihsgca.net).
- The 2018 Girls All-State Nomination Form is on our website under the “All-State Awards” Tab.
- The minimum requirements for nomination are listed on the Form.
IHSGCA Girls Academic All-State Team
- Nomination Form Submission Deadline: Monday, September 17, 2018. No late Forms accepted. No exceptions.
- The candidate’s coach MUST be a paid member of the IHSGCA prior to submission of the Nomination Form.
- The Form requires the school principal signature and a transcript so don’t wait until the last minute.
- Coaches can pay their membership dues online using our website (www.ihsgca.net).
- The 2018 Academic All-State Nomination Form is on our website under the “All-State Awards” Tab.
- The minimum requirements for nomination are listed on the Form.
Mitchel J. Winger Award
The Mitchel J. Winger Award is given out each year to a student athlete that has overcome a particular handicap in the pursuit of playing the great game of golf. In my opinion, this is one of the most important awards we give a player each year. This award is given to a player who contributes to the success of their team despite her physical impairments and/or medical conditions. The focus of this award is on the player’s accomplishments not on the specific “handicaps”. There is no form required. All you need to do is email to Coach Ben Waymouth (bwaymouth@plymouth.k12.in.us) a description of your player and the difficulties she has overcome along with her contributions to her team. Don’t pass up on an opportunity to have one of your players recognized for her extra ordinary accomplishments.
New Coaching Resources
Exclusive School Program
The IHSGCA has teamed up with Guide For Golf to help all Indiana high school coaches be better golf coaches which will make their teams more competitive. Guide for Golf gives coaches and players access to more than 250 PGA instructional golf videos and EXCLUSIVE Coaches and Players platforms to help track stats, communicate team schedule, monitor rounds posted, and develop custom lesson plans for player development all year long! The best part of Guide For Golf is that every Indiana high school golf coach and their players can use it for FREE. Yes, I said FREE. What do you have to lose? Nothing. I encourage you to go to their website and sign up. If you don’t like what they have to offer, then don’t use it. Lastly, Guide For Golf has a fundraising program that you can use to raise hundreds of dollars per year for your golf program. Click the link below to get started using Guide For Golf.
