LESSONS LEARNED | College Years

• The tough challenge is to get noticed by golf coaches from the US. The RCGA has started a golf scholarship program with some Canadian Universities. Check out RCGA’s website, http://www.rcga.org. Most opportunities though are with the US Universities.

• Build up your resume and exposure by playing in tournaments during the summer in the US.

• The NCAA allows you to visit up to 5 different universities all expenses paid to assess which College program you want to pursue.

• Choose a college program that not only fits your pocketbook but also will offer you the opportunity to play a lot of golf.

• Strive to get on the team for as many tournaments as possible. The exposure to top level amateur golfers will be invaluable for your game.

• Soak up the team-work and camaraderie. They are golden years in which you may be forming relationships that last a lifetime.

• Enjoy the journey and don’t sweat the results too much. Keep in mind that you are getting better and better every day, getting great experience for dealing with life and having an opportunity that few do. It’s the long view that counts.

• Your last year of college golf and summer of amateur golf are important for recognition by sponsors for a pro career. Make your last year and summer your best.
