Young members of the Barona Band of Mission Indians are excelling at golf thanks to the tribe's golf course.
Five years ago, the tribe spent $12 million to build the course. Now, the best scorers for the golf team at El Capitan High School are from the tribe.
�Most people think of Indians as partying a lot and all that,� Harold Hill Jr, a 15-year-old sophomore, told The San Diego Union-Tribune. �I don't plan on doing that in my adult life. I plan on being a PGA professional. I plan on going to school.�
