I am wondering about the golf team at TJHSST. My child is an average golfer but would like to try out for the team if she is accepted to TJ this year. Is the team very competitive?

It's pretty competitive - regularly the district champions in a fairly weak district - but a kid with a fair amount of experience would have a chance to make top 6 straightaway to compete in events of significance.

TJ is frequently competitive in pretty much all "individual" sports.

It's a matter of scheduling priorities. You can schedule an individual sport like tennis or golf around an academic schedule, it's harder to do with a team sport.

TJ has sent golfers to compete at UVA and Yale within the past decade and their current #1 is a surefire D1 recruit as well. The coach is excellent.

That said, there are almost always opportunities at the back end of the top 6.

Yes try out! There are some very solid golfers but also some not so strong. Definitely go for it!
