Mountaineer Golf Schedule

Description

Golf is a coed varsity sport played in the fall. We are fortunate to have our home course be Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, which has 27 holes, a driving range, and a nine hole chipping range. Honesty, proper dress and etiquette are strongly emphasized and fostered.

Intramurals

Intramurals are held in the late fall, spring, and summer at very little or no cost. Intramural dates and times will be announced.  Golfers interested should sign up with Coach Pete Sobrinski at the junior high or Coach Matt Sobrinski at the high school.   While no prior experience is necessary to participate, it is an advantage.  Students in 8th grade are welcome.  Up to 25 Stroudsburg golfers attend intramurals at one time.

Three Straight MVC Championships and Four Straight MVC Tournament Championships

The golf team was undefeated in the Mountain Valley Conference for the third straight season with a record to 12-0 and 16-0 overall.  In addition to winning their third straight league title, it was also the fourth straight year that they won the Mountain Valley Conference Tournament. 

A record nine Stroudsburg golfers qualified to compete in the District XI Qualifying Round which was played at Schuylkill Country Club.  In order to qualify, golfers must maintain an average of 81 or under for the entire season.  Three Stroudsburg golfers competed in the District XI Championship Round: Rich Eilenberger, Matt Landro, and Ashley Ward.  Rich Eilenberger made the cut and was the first Stroudsburg golfer to qualify for regionals in at least a decade.

The golf team placed second in the District XI Team Championship played at Bethlehem Municipal, which is their best finish yet.  This team set the bar even higher.

Why should I attend?

May I participate in intramurals?
Yes, provided you are in 8th-11th grade and are:
•    passing all your classes
•    dressing appropriately
•    are able to follow directions
•    and willing to be respectful

What is the time commitment during the golf season?
We practice and/or play matches Monday through Friday beginning August. 17 through the first week in October. 

Who plays the matches?
The top eight golfers play in the matches.  The top six players’ scores will count in the matches.   Two extra players will compete in a match for experience. At home matches, all members of the golf team play.  This means that the entire team will get out of school about 1:00. You should try to schedule less important classes toward the end of the day.

What should the non match “extra” players do when the team has away matches?
When we have away matches, non match players (extra players) are encouraged to practice, although it is not mandatory. Extra players need to provide their own transportation on these days. Extra players will be allowed to practice or play Shawnee.  It is highly recommended that golfers make every attempt to take advantage of this privilege and practice. 

Golf Course Expectations

Driving Range Expectations:

These include the golf course expectations and the following:

Use common sense:
