How do I market myself to college golf programs?
  • The student should send a letter of inquiry to the college coaches at some point near the end of sophomore year or the beginning of junior year. The letter should include:
    • Academic Profile of the Student
    • What they shoot
    • What courses they are playing
    • What tournaments they are playing and where they are finishing
    • Include a Summer schedule and where they are playing
  • Some coaches would also like to receive a videotape. A good videotape will include:
    • Three Views of each club (A face on view, a side view, and a shot or two from the front (just a swing, not with an actual golf ball).
    • The student should hit a 5 Iron Shot, a drive, and a Wedge Shot/Approach Shot.
    • The student should take two or three swings from each position.
  • It is recommended that a student get involved with club, local and state amateur tournaments.
  • Summer golf camps are also a good way to learn the game and increase visibility.
  • A student shooting in the 80's will be a competitive college player in New England.
