I also played in high school. It was fantastic. I grew in the western suburbs of Philly (where I still live) and all the public schools enjoy some nice perks. There is great golf in our area, but very few of the courses are public. But the schools all had deals with the best Country Clubs in the area.
I've been lucky enough to play a bunch of top notch courses because of it. Conestoga High School's home course is Waynesborough Country Club, they held a PGA event a few years ago which Furyk won. Lower Merion High (Kobe Bryant's alma mater) plays on Philadelphia Country club which is historic around these parts mainly for the folks who have played it (presidents and celebs). But we had the best home course - I was at Haverford High. You've probably heard of our home course...
Merion.
Home of the 2013 US Open. I'm so excited for that tourney because I've got very good course knowledge of that place, playing on it for years and caddying there in the summers. I can't wait to get tickets because I'll be able to stand in the fairways and be like it's 189 from the edge of that bunker, Tiger's probably got a 7 iron.
