High School advice!?! HELP!?!?

Okay I am a sophomore this year and i made the golf team last on a whim because nobody else tried out.. I was really bad the whole year (worst on team)


This year i practiced and practiced and got a !!TON!! of help from a friends and online and gradually got my score down to an average of 90 (18 holes *last year my average for 9 holes was 100*)


We had try outs today and I shot the best score of my life 84 ( 42 on front 9 42 on back 9) I really did shoot this but nobody on my golf team besides one guy (the guy I always golf with) beliefs me not even the coach


We have another round of 18 holes tomorrow and I don't know what to do nobody believes me and they will most likely put me with the most annoying people on our team bc the will monitor me very carefully but when I am being watched over for every shot I get shy and mis-hit of something


What should I do?!?!





any advice helps Thanks!High School advice!?! HELP!?!?
thats stupid without any proof that your score is false you should not be accused of that tell your coach you average at 90 and that was your best score ever and not to expect much the next day... dont worry about coaches they r most of the time not that smart... its like the easiest job there is all u need to do is stand there and know what golf isHigh School advice!?! HELP!?!?
Whenever we had qualifying for the high school or college teams there was always another player who qualified along side and kept and verified the score which was turned in . Just go out there and play your game.If the coach doesn't believe you he should be the one to keep and verify the score.
I assume you are an honorable person and are telling the truth about your score. You cannot be concerned about what other people do on the golf course because that will take focus off of what you need to do. Just play golf and take it one shot at a time. Commit to every shot then you won't be thinking about those who are watching you.
Do you not swap cards so someone marks your score in try outs?


If not who signs as marker? You should definitely do this next time.





As for the pressure, just get used to it and adapt to it. The better and more serious you get the higher the pressure will be. Instead of fearing it, get used to it and channel the nervous energy into something more useful than shyness and fear.
So, your coach is accusing you of cheating without any proof? Sure sounds like it to me. If this were a jury trial I'd rule in your favor.





If you are cheating with your score then the person you golfed with has every reason to call you out. The fact this person won't call you out to your face and give you the chance to come clean puts you in a better light.
your coach should be more Professional thy that 2 weeks I shot 77 and 3 days later I shot 101 don't get stress out and just play your game
As a HS Coach, it certainly does seem odd to put you out in 2somes for tryouts. Tell the coach before you tee off tomorrow that you have been averaging about 90, so don't expect another career day out of you.





Now, when you are playing tomorrow, be as smart as possible, don't take unnecessary risks, but definitely play with a chip on your shoulder. Take a screw them approach and you will be fine. In fact make a point to beat whoever you are paired with, especially if it is someone already on the team. That will show them!





Since you are in tryouts, it is only natural to move the better scores up each day. So the freshman who were too busy with their own messes to have any idea what you were doing will get someone of their own caliber tomorrow and you get to play with the better scores. That is something to aim for and be proud of, not something to shrink from.
