Golf is getting more and more popular thanks to Tiger Woods. As its popularity increases, there are more and more student-athletes that are getting involved with Junior golf programs. With this increase in popularity, comes an increase in competition for college golf scholarships. Due to this increase in scholarship competition, I want to share with you some basic guidelines that will help you get a college golf scholarship.
One thing I want to stress to student-athletes is that what I am about to share with you are SIMPLY guidelines. If you are able to offer a college coach certain intangibles that he/she is looking for they may still offer you a college scholarship.
I speak from experience. I played quarterback at Stanford University, and I am only 6′ tall. A typical Pac-10 quarterback is at LEAST 6′2″.
I think it is important to know what college coaches are looking for because it gives you something to shoot for…a goal to strive for as you practice and prepare.
It is important to note that the fundamentals of college recruiting are still critical to your success. Be sure to do well in the classroom, and put together an athletic resume with video to promote to college coaches.
Preferred academic standards are 3.0+ GPA and a 24+ACT/1000+SAT
The single, most common question I get from parents is, “What does my student-athlete have to shoot to get a college golf scholarship?”
RECRUITING PARAMETERS
A Division 1 coach is looking for MALE golfers to have a SCRATCH handicap, and FEMALE golfers to have a handicap from 0-5.
A Division 2 coach is looking for MALE golfers with a handicap from 0-4, and FEMALE golfers from 0-10.
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
D1 schools can have a total of 4.5 male scholarship golfers on the team, while the woman’s golf team has a total of 6 scholarships.
D2 schools are allowed to have 3.6 scholarships for their male golf team, and 5.4 scholarships for their female golf team.
NAIA schools have 5 scholarships for both their male and female golf programs.
