Golf is an incredibly HOT sport these days thanks to Tiger Woods. It continues to grow and grow as more student-athletes are becoming 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.
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.
Also, please remember 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.
Typical grades are 3.0+ GPA and a 24+ACT/1000+SAT
One thing I often get asked by parents and players is, "What do I need to shoot in order to play in college?"
RECRUITING PARAMETERS
A D1 coach is looking to recruit scratch golfers for his male golf team, and a 0-5 handicap for the female golf team.
A D2 coach is looking to recruit male golfers with a 0-4 handicap and female golfers with a 0-10 handicap.
Division 3 coaches are typically looking for male golfers to have an 8-13 handicap, and their female golfers to have a 10-20 handicap.
ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
NCAA Division 1 schools have 4.5 male scholarships, while the woman's golf team has 6 scholarships available.
NCAA Division 2 schools have 3.6 male scholarships, while the woman's team has 5.4 scholarships.
The NAIA schools are alloted 5 scholarships for both their male and female teams.
