Special Procedures Due to Current COVID Pandemic Outlined Below. Please Read! (items are subject to change, please check the website daily for new information). Day 1 of tryouts is on Saturday, August 1 at Pine Hills Golf Course.

• PRE-TRYOUT APP SCREENING PROCESS: Each Student-Athlete Registered for Tryouts will need to create a profile on the TeamBuildr App available for iOS and Android. Please have them register with the join code and password below. Once in the app, they will need to complete their profile and a pre-screening questionnaire. The last question of the pre-screening questionnaire (located in the daily calendar portion of the app) will be to take the player's temperature before the round. Please do this on each day of the tryout and post it to the TeamBuildr app before the athlete leaves home.
   
• JOIN CODE:           KXO8-1MR5
• PASSCODE:           FDLMDKGH
   
• Please show up no earlier than 20 minutes before your tee time and report directly to the Saint Ignatius Check-In Table. You will have your temperature taken immediately onsite.
• Please wear a mask from the time you exit your vehicle until the time you complete the check in process. Masks may be required in certain high traffic areas outdoors (such as putting greens). Masks must be worn inside of the clubhouse at all times. Feel free to wear a mask outdoors even when not required.
• Once the check in process is completed, players will be permitted inside to pay for their round of golf. Pine Hills has extended a rate of $35 so please plan accordingly. Again, masks are required inside of the clubhouse at all times.
• To limit the number of players congregating and to enhance social distancing, access to the driving range and short game areas will NOT be permitted. The only exception to this will be access to the putting green. The putting green will be accessible but only once your temperature is taken at the check in table. Once your temperature is validated, you will be permitted access to the putting green.
• The driving range will be closed to all players so please prepare and warm up at a separate location before the round!
• Absolutely no spectators are allowed including parents. Please drop your player off 20mins before their tee time and plan to pick them up roughly 4hrs after their round. We ask parents or providers of transportation to stay in their vehicles in the parking lot and not congregate in the clubhouse or practice areas.
• Please print out a copy of the scorecard before your round and bring it with you…

• Absolutely no touching of the flag stick. Flagstick must be left in the hole.
• No touching of rakes inside of bunkers. Please be courteous and fix any bunker footprints with your foot only after your shot is played. More information regarding local rules regarding bunker play will be provided at the tryout site on the first tee.
• Water will not be available in water coolers on the course. Please plan accordingly. Water and sports drinks will be available inside of the clubhouse for purchase.
• No shaking hands, please use verbal means of communication to greet fellow players and coaches.
• Once scorecards are signed, players must go directly to the parking lot to their vehicles. Please be ready to pick your son up directly after their round of golf to maintain player safety. No player should have to wait for transportation after their round. Parents please plan accordingly and stay in touch with your son on timing.
• Player safety and health is of the utmost importance. Failure to comply with the above rules will be subject to review by the coaching staff and may result in potential elimination from the tryout.

Day 1:

• Players will compete from the Blue Tees at Pine Hills at roughly 6,700yds.
