Bulldog Golf Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do I need to do to play golf for Summer Creek High School?

Select 6th period Golf on your schedule when you meet with your counselor in the Spring. If you play another sport in the Fall or can’t get golf on your schedule email me and we’ll see what we can work out.

Summer Tournaments are not required but will help you prepare for try-outs. See tips for Summer section below for info. If you are unsure what level to play email me.

We do have golf “Try-outs”. It helps to have junior golf tournament experience. If you have never played golf before, competitively or otherwise, email me to discuss your options.

2. How long is the high school golf season? The entire school year. August through May.

3. How do we know when and where we have a tournament? The tournament schedule is on our website. What tournaments each player will play and specific information will be sent out via Remind app.

4. Can I play another sport and play golf? Yes. We encourage all our athletes to participate in as much they can handle. Each sport will try to work out the best possible scenario to accommodate practice and other conflicts.

5. Do I have to be in the athletic period to be on the team? No. We would definitely prefer all of our golfers to be in the golf class to get the full experience/benefit of what the program offers. Multi-sport and multi-activity students would need to meet with all coaches involved to discuss the options for playing golf if you're not in the golf class.

6. How will the teams be determined in season? In Season—The Teams are formed using our ranking and scoring average system that combines qualifying and tournament scores.

7. How many tournaments will we play? 8 tournaments plus District. Some players may not play all 8 tournaments for various reasons. The top 13 boys and top 13 girls (from our rankings) will play at the District Tournament (if those players are of varsity caliber–13 is the max we can take to district, but we may take less if we have fewer varsity ready players).

8.Once I make the team, am I expected to progress each year? Yes, players are expected to competitively improve year to year helping the program compete in each tournament we play in. Players secure a spot on the roster each year by competitively lowering their tournament scoring average. Our program is a competitive sport not a club.

9. Will I miss school to compete in a golf tournament? Yes. Tournaments are during school hours. Students are expected to make arrangements with all their teachers for missed work prior to their absence.

10. Where do we practice? 7th period Golf Club of Houston Monday & Tuesday & Atascocita GC Wednesday. 6th period Atascocita GC late arrival Thursdays only.

11. Do we have a dress code policy for practice and tournaments? Yes. Golf attire is required for all practices and tournaments. Golf shorts or pants and the specified “tournament” shirt will be normal attire for tournaments.

12. Does Summer Creek provide transportation to practice each day? Yes. Players can take the golf shuttle bus to practice on team practice days. Players that have their own transportation can drive to practice, or have parents drive to practice. Players will need a ride home from the golf course.

13. Does Summer Creek provide transportation to AND from tournaments? We will provide transportation to and from tournaments, unless otherwise stated. We leave early on tournament days. All players will be given tournament information prior to each event via Remind. If an event is being hosted by another Humble ISD school, then the players will provide their own method of transportation to and home from the event.
