Missing School and Tournaments
We are hitting the busy schedule for tournaments. It is important that golfers remain proactive in getting work for days that they miss school for tournaments. We have 20 golfers in the program and will be more than happy to have tournament lineups made up of student athletes who can balance academics and golf.
Howell Cup Match Play Tournament
We started our intrasquad Howell Cup Match Play Tournament on Friday. Last year's champion, Dylan Marcelle, looks to defend his title. We had some quality matches and some upsets in the opening rounds.
Are you interested in ordering extra hats?
We have had quite a few people indicate an interest in purchasing golf hats. The cost of a hat would be $30, with proceeds going to the Booster Club. Checks would be made payable to "FH Boys Golf Booster Club".
I have a limited supply right now of extras, but will put in an extra order if there is more interest. I will fulfill requests from the current supply on a first come, first serve basis based on when the interest form below was submitted.
I will put in an extra order to fulfill requests beyond current supply. The Google Form to put in a request is below. You may have to click on it, if viewing in email. Here is a direct link in case you have problems with the form (Link).

Important Save the Dates
1. Golf End of Season BBQ -- Tuesday, May 31st
We will celebrate the season and honor our seniors. Time and location TBA. We would love 100% attendance from golfers and families.
2. Golf Camp -- June 20th - June 23rd
We are tentatively scheduled to hold golf camp June 20th - June 23rd from 8am-12pm. We do not expect current team members to register, but we do ask for any help we can get from them as counselors during the week. This helps grow the game of golf for younger kids in the area and helps develop the future of our program. Many of our current program members are camp alumni.
3. Francis Howell Boys Golf Tournament -- Thursday, July 21st
This is a crucial part to funding our program. Our program goes above and beyond compared to others in the area. We have range finders, practice rounds, extra equipment, etc. Much of this has to do with having the money raised from our annual tournament. In addition, Whitmoor is very kind to us because we provide them with consistent business through our tournament. We don't do five hundred different fundraisers. The tournament is our main focal point for fundraising. We will be seeking your help in obtaining golfers, hole sponsors (great source of money), and raffle/basket donation items. In addition, we will also be looking for volunteers to help in planning and helping on the day of the tournament.
