re: High school Senior girl shoots 71

If you shoot 66-71 as a 17 year old girl with no weight training, dietician, or other resources big colleges have, I don’t think backing her up a few yards is gonna make her skill set less lol. This isn’t a college male playing the woman Tees. State is Next Tuesday which will be a more difficult course, I’ll give an update then.

It sounds like she's very good but backing up 300 yards or more can make a huge difference in what your score is, especially a female. It can mean the difference between an 7 or 8 iron in to a long iron or fairway wood, I bet there would be a few par 4s that she couldn't reach in 2. We had a girl play with the high school boys from the blue tees in a summer tournament league and she went from shooting low 70s to high 80s because of the distance. I'm sure she's good she just has to up the level of competition and course difficulty. If she lives in SE Arkansas, she needs to play Mystic Creek, that is a good test if golf, one if the hardest courses I've ever played.
