START THINKING ABOUT US COLLEGES AT THE AGE OF 15, SAYS GAVIN

FROM GAVIN DEAR

Golf Scholars

Just wanted to give you an update on Golf Scholars, we have started off well, have some players signed up and a large number of coaches. One of the major issues we have found, is that parents and young golfers don't realise that the Recruiting Process takes time! 

You really need to be thinking about it from the age of 15, which means the players may play off a slightly higher handicap. There is also a misconception that young golfers must play off a plus handicap.

This is simply not true, there are a number of boys who have gone to America on Scholarship from handicap of 4 - if they have strong academics, Girls can play off anything up to 8. At the end of the day Academics are key, and the SAT test will determine what level and which Universities you can play for. 

Golf Scholars has also launched a 14 day free trial period, to allow parents and young golfers to have a look at the site and understand how it works.
