Here are some of these rules and procedures you can expect to see in Pine Tree golf.
If you attend school, you are expected to participate in golf activities unless stated otherwise by the coach. If you are unable to attend practice for a specific day, it must be cleared by the coach. Also, golfers need to bring their own equipment like clubs, tees, shoes, and balls. If equipment is supplied, any damage made is the golfer’s responsibility to replace. Golfers are expected to follow the dress code, any golfer outside of golf dress code regulations will be considered unexcused. To see the rest of the rules and hear more about these ones, grab a copy of the pine tree golf team rules and procedures from Coach Guinn.
The students that effectively follow these rules get to attend both practices and events. Some of these events being various fast approaching tournaments and competitions, in which the Pine Tree teams perform successfully.
