Sounds like you're on the right track. I would suggest goal-specific drills for your short game. Even if you are not hitting the ball well, you can recover with a good short game. Start with putting. Here's my No. 1 drill for putting and competitive situations: start with 20 three-foot putts in a row, without a miss. If you miss one, start at the beginning. When you have achieved that, try for 30 in a row. Build up to 50 three-foot putts in a row without a miss (might take a couple of weeks). Not only will this sharpen your short game, it will teach you to deal with pressure situations. Just imagine the pressure of having to make putt No. 49 and 50 -- if you miss, you have to start over and you don't want to miss!

Being on HS team depends on several things, how big a golf program that is in place at the school this can be determined by the school enrollment. The tournaments are usually five players with the lowest score thrown out and the top three players factor in for the medalist honors 1st,2nd,&3rd. Everyone is given the chance to tryout for the team and there maybe six to seven spots on the team and is awarded by the low score for two day event 36 holes. The typical 5A team that has a high level of competition usually fields 1-2 freshmen teams, 1-2 sophmore teams, and two varsity squads. The rankings on the team come from interteam play and usually play two nine hole rounds a week to fight for the positions of 1-10. The girls teams may have tryouts depending on the skill level. Most all the male players play junior events year round outside of the time they play for the school. The players are allowed to play in eight events annually in district and the top five players advance to the district tournament,regional, and state.
