Key Steps To Get A Golf Scholarship
Junior golf continues to grow in large part thanks to Tiger Woods. As more and more student-athletes join Junior golf, there is an obvious increase in competition for college golf scholarships. Because of this fact, I thought it would be important to share with you some of the common parameters a college golf coach is looking for in new recruits.
Please, understand that what I am sharing with you are only parameters. They are not set in stone, and I think it is valuable to have something to shoot for as you continue to develop your golf game.
I know intangibles are an important part of a college coaches recruiting process. I speak from experience. I am a 6′ guy that played quarterback in the Pac-10. Typically, coaches want their quarterbacks in the Pac-10 to be at least 6′2″.
I hope this gives you HOPE even if your scores do not currently match up to what college coaches are looking for in their prospective golfers.
Keep in mind, that the BASICS of college recruiting still apply…even if you are within the given guidelines. It is important that you still excel in the class room, and YES, coaches want to see video your swings. Once you get some video done of your swings, begin to promote yourself to college coaches all over the country.
