How can I get on a DIII Golf Team?

I am not a golfer who frequents national tournaments, and am not part of any major leagues (you will not find my name with competitive junior golfers). However, I am a girl whose scoring average and handicap is well within the range of many DIII golf teams. One of my dream schools has a women’s golf team, and my scores were better than most of the players. My high school team plays some extremely difficult courses that are also used by two local DI golf teams, so I am pretty sure that it is not just because I am playing easier courses. Although I don’t play in national leagues, I am used to competition in my intense high school league (one of the most competitive in the U.S).

Do you think it’s possible that I could make it on a DIII women’s golf team, even without national tournament experience? How do I respond to the forms when they ask me what my best tournament score was?
