MHSA sanctioned golf for boys in 1928 and for girls in 1936. Only individual champions were recognized in those early years. Schools' team scores were not kept until 1956 for boys and 1966 for girls. Separate classifications were not recognized until 1978 when separate boys' and girls' team/individual champions were honored by classification. Currently AA and A play in the fall, B and C play in the spring.
