Answer:
Like all highschool sports expect to meet some new friends, learn healthy competition, and playing as a part of a team. All you need to prepare for this are practice, a good attitude, and the desire to work with your coach/teamates to get better. As for a tournament you will learn competition, the rules of competitive golf, and how to play in the spirit of golf. You will get the hang of that after a couple of tournies. Good luck, and all the best.

Yeah mate i agree with a lot of people here. High school isn't really competitive unless your school is really good. I'm on varsity girls and we never practice, and some players shoot over one hundred. If you want to start, you should see what the girls are shooting at the school you're going to and try to match the best.

hi. im a sophomore in high school so i can probably give you a heads up about what to expect. first of all, how old are you? because breaking 90 and shooting 70's are two completely different things. it takes at least 2-3 years to be able to consistently shoot 70's when you're shooting 90's now. but ok, anyways, you need to get into tournaments outside of school. high school golf is good but for real experience you need to get into AJGA tournaments (American Junior Golf Association). High school golf is pretty laid back depending on your coach. My coach is not very good and most high school coaches arent, so its important to try and find a professional to take lessons from. High school golf is fairly easy, and tournament play is like playing a normal round. most high school golf girls aren't very good and tend to talk alot so you shouldn't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable with a very serious golfer. However, if this does happen, just try and keep conversation shorter. Believe me, as a freshman i found out the hard way, a girl just ignored me, lol. I would definitely get involved in tournaments outside of school though, its very important if you're planning on playing golf in college. Practice practice practice, and perhaps the 70's will come :)

The one thing you should do is manage your expectations. Pretty much every golfer will tell you what they SHOULD be doing or what they SHOULD have shot. What matters in tournament golf is what you do shoot. No one cares what you should have shot. So, concentrate on breaking 90, then breaking 85, then hopefully you can break 80. Tournament golf is completely different from regular course play. Play in as many tournaments as you can. As another answer suggested, play in the AJGA tournaments. The best preparation is to play in as many tournaments as you can. I disagree with another answer however about it being just like playing with friends or it's a normal round, don't gab with your playing partners. Concentrate on your game. It's good to be cordial, but focus is key to golf, especially tournament golf
