9. The root cause is governance. Golf at the IHSAA isn’t run by golf professionals. The association lacks the expertise to run championship events and protect the game’s integrity. That’s a structural gap, not a personal one.

Hope. I was marker for a girl’s district in Fort Dodge many years ago. I had girl for a 12. She said, “No, I had a 13. I barely bumped the ball in the rough and you wouldn’t have seen it.”. She was from Glidden-Ralston. Good on her!

If there are coach’s who don’t know the game let alone the integrity of the game then they shouldn’t be coaching the game.

10. The ask. The IHSAA should delegate administration of all of the boys’ postseason to the Iowa Section PGA, which already has the systems to ensure accurate scoring. The same model should be the standard for all Iowa high school golf.

So much this!

The @IHSAA has an astounding history at not being able to competently run a golf tournament for quite some time. Hopefully these allegations of cheating get the attention it deserves and the governing body makes a change. It’s unlikely, but hey - maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

Spot on 👏 this amazing game has grown so much in the last 5 years. However, the reasons that makes this game so great are not being taught to newcomers & youth. Course etiquette & rules need to be the standard before someone even steps on a golf course.

I believe the only two sports in Iowa high school level that don't have actual officials are Tennis and Golf.

3. The recommendation was ignored. For districts, the event that matters most. One round decides who advances. Highest pressure, highest risk. What other sport sends kids off for five hours and takes their word for what happened?

Just returned from having our daughter participate in @nsaahome state golf for the third time. Awesome event!! Great volunteers and awesome support from @NGAgolf for live scoring and tournament administration. I mean, like, AWESOME. Soon, Class A will be voting to REMOVE scoring monitors from their state event. Other classes could follow. I believe it would be the absolute wrong move. We have junior golf as good as we have ever had it here. Let’s not ruin that with what happened in Iowa the last couple of weeks. #nebpreps

Great areas of consideration and conversation components. SEVERAL areas-extremely easy to implement with numerous rewards/benefits in doing so as such. ⛳️🐉

Should do the same for tennis. People who don’t know how to score the sport are making decisions. Should not be the case!

Worth the read if you’ve been following the Iowa High School Golf issues.

There are MASSIVE learning lessons in watching golf. Elite players need to observe to see how bad decisions get made and big numbers show up on scorecards. Happy to help if/how I can!

Good stuff here Jeff, worth a read. Obviously all of this isn’t an ideal way to shed light on High School golf in Iowa but certainly good discussions and great points. This state has turned out some incredible young players over the past years and the game has evolved. Golf tournaments are complicated to coordinate and are unique to other sports where you rely 100% on non-school facilities for every meet. Would love to see more discussion across all classes here and how we can elevate the experience and exposure.

Golf asks kids to be honest when no one is watching. The least we can do is watch with them. We’ve done it twice. It works. Next fall, another group of kids plays the biggest round of their season. @IHSAA, partner with @IowaPGA and protect them. ⛳

11. The payoff. Under that system, if 2026 happened again, no one would question that team. They’d simply have had a great day and earned their spot. Today, those kids don’t get that protection.
