Overview
Golf - Coed 2nd Team
Golf has been a varsity sport at Brooks since 2012. Interest in the game has grown every year, and in 2017, a 2nd team was added to allow more students to play. Golf in the ISL is a coed sport, and the 2nd team consists of roughly 10 players.
While the 2nd team allows those who are relatively new to the sport the opportunity to improve, the squad is also competitive, playing matches against the six other ISL JV golf teams.
The 2nd team practices at Bradford Golf Course and at Garrison Golf Center.
