We aren’t able to have a successful season without your support. We understand that golf is a time demanding sport and getting the players to practice and matches on time is extremely important. It shows respect for their peers and coaches and helps them better understand time management and commitment. We understand that transportation issues can occur, and the coaches are here to help. Please let us know if rides to / from practices or matches are required for your golfer prior to the day of the event. Any Coach provided transportation should be to / from Washington – Liberty.

I will send out a notice prior to us shifting to the next set of sessions.

Reminder: Please be at East Potomac Golf Course as close to 3:30pm as possible to allow for enough warmup time. We will need to remain socially distant while in the range and putting areas so there may be delays in when you can warmup. I will be there by 3pm for anyone that wants extra time.

Due to incoming weather, Thursday's tryouts have been canceled and we are tentatively booked for day two to be on Friday February 19. Updated information will be sent out Thursday.

Please use the link below to complete your daily health screening. This is required to be submitted each day before you will be able to participate in any team sessions. I suggest you add it to your calendar as a daily reminder.

See you tomorrow!
