Most of the time high schools don't develop their golfers into all-stars. It's the practise and dedication outside of school that these players use to get good. It just so happens that some high schools have a wide catchment area and can grab all the best talent. I can't see schools taking a 10 handicap and morphing him into a scratch golfer over a season.

While the intense teams do practice a lot it is just basically a team bonding session to keep their skills fresh. Our golf teams consist of 4 players and when we go in tournaments the format is the total of 3 scores with the 4th one dropped. This large high school had so much skill we Tied for 3rd with a +10 total, this team blew everyone out of the water and shot a 3 man total of -6. The 4th score being dropped was a 75.
