Murchison Golf Club

Golf at Murchison is a “club." This is not an instructional class, and all skill levels are welcome! Athletic Physicals are not required.

Murchison Middle School is in vertical alignment with Anderson High School; this is a great opportunity to work with our Sponsor, Coach Williamson, a Coach for the State-winning Anderson High School teams!

Parents

Parents volunteer on the team committees to support every golfer, which is essential to the team’s success. Parents will be asked to volunteer for tournaments. An adult must accompany each four-person team during tournaments. The accompanying adult will be assigned a group to assist with maintaining the pace of play, supporting the group with tournament rules, and recording scores accurately.

Team Dues

2024-2025 SY the dues are $100.00 per golfer. Dues cover administration, Golf clinics, access to TopGolf practice after school, and an end-of-year party/challenge.

Tournaments

In partnership with other AISD Middle Schools, we will co-host and participate in non-UIL 9-hole tournaments. Sixth-grade students may not participate in competitive events.

A uniform is required for tournament play. Tournament Fees are in addition to this, and parents should budget $60 per tournament. The tour fees are covered if the student has submitted the club dues.

Practices

Practice is “on your own.” The club parents are encouraged to plan casual outings or practice opportunities with local golf courses or facilities. It is encouraged that all golfers are invited to such practices to develop camaraderie and skills. All golfers are encouraged to play golf. Participating in golf camps or securing private instruction is at the parent’s discretion.
