Stockbridge Golf Team

Golf Team
Stockbridge Schools fields a golf team that competes at the Community College level. Golf at Stockbridge is a very competitive sport with many members coming from the Turf School, which is made up of students who hope to make the golf business their life. Although the team participates during the spring semester, we do hold tryouts and informal matches during the fall semester. All students are welcome to try out at this time. While most of the competitors have single digit handicaps and have competed at the high school or amateur level, we have had several players who improved enough while at Stockbridge to make the team.

For further information, please contact Jason Germain at 413.577.0267, or at 308 Mullins Building, University of Massachusetts Amherst.
