Coaches Oppose Idaho Girl Golfer
For a golf ball waiting to be clubbed, physics are everything. Swing outside-in and the dimpled sphere slices into the rough. Hit it too high and the ball is transformed into a turf-bound, worm-burning projectile. But as Idaho high school golf champ Sierra Harr knows, that vexing white orb, subordinate as it is to the laws governing matter's travel through space and time, is indifferent to whether it's struck by a boy or a girl. Just now, however, that's the issue pre-occupying the 16-year-old Harr, as Idaho's high school athletics governing body considers a small rule change with big consequences: It would prevent her from playing with the Castleford High Schools boy's golf team, the one she helped win the 2012 state championship in May. As it happens, some opposing coaches complained, she said/John Miller, AP. More here. (John Miller AP photo of Sierra Harr)
Question: Should the Idaho high school association allow Sierra to play on Castleford's boys' golf team?
