Golf is an incredibly HOT sport thanks to Tiger Woods, and it continues to grow and grow for Junior Golfers. Due to the increase in competition for college golf scholarships, I want to share with you some important and basic information about how to get a college golf scholarship.
Keep in mind that these figures are just parameters…they are not set in stone.
The FUNDAMENTALS of college recruiting still apply…it is critical that you do well in the classroom, and you do whatever it takes to promote yourself to college coaches…and YES this does include video of your different club swings and putting.
Preferred grades are 3.0+ GPA and a 24+ACT/1000+SAT
One of the most common questions I get from families is, “What do I have to shoot to play college golf?”
