I play for my school, and it is a requirment that we walk the course vs. getting a cart. I get tired easily and often stop concentrating on my shots. Instead I concentrate on how much longer I have till I'm done. Any tips?

Many people have told you to work on your ability to walk. (Actually 7,000 yards is close to 4 miles).
I agree that you need to be in cardovacular shape to do that part.
What is often not realized by beginning players is the amount of strength you need to play golf. Particullarly abs, glutes, shoulders and lower back. Do weigth training to do build these muscles, without losing you flexability. To do this, high reps with low weights. You are going to have 72 explosive motions over 4-5 hours. (Okay I usuually have closer to 90 explosive motions.)
Talk to your coach amount specifics.

Make sure you take a candy or snack break so your blood sugar doesn't go too low.Hydrate with water.No Caffeine drinks.Walk several miles a day when not playing to build your muscles up.Wear a good hat or cap because the sun can tire you out.

Cardiovascular exercises can go a long way in building your endurance. Try running/jogging a few miles a week and increase slowly as you feel comfortable with whatever distance you decide to run. If you have access to a treadmill/elliptical, that's another option also.

What I do is try to drink a ton of water 48 hrs. before the round. Also, bring plenty of granola bars, and water in your bag. Get plenty of sleep the night before

Eat healthy foods prior to playing such as bananas. The extra energy helps you keep going.

On your days off I would start walking and jogging to work on your endurance.
During your rounds, make sure to stay well hydrated.
