College scholarships are abundant for girls and boys…

Did you know that more than 250 out of roughly 1,800 girls golf scholarships in over 300 Division I and Division II universities and colleges went UNUSED in 2023?  The reason: there are not enough high-school girls playing golf!  This provides a huge opportunity for female golfers.  According to current trends, if a high-school female golfer shoots 95, college golf is a possibility;  shoots in the 80’s, there is a good likelihood of at least a partial scholarship; shoots under 80 and is a virtual shoe-in for a scholarship.

On the boys side, there are typically 4.5 college scholarships per Division I men’s college golf team (3.6 scholarships available in Division II). That equates to over 1,000 scholarships in Division I and II schools alone, with another 1,000 from Division III and NAIA schools.

Middle/High School Golf Team Clinic

With these opportunities available, how do you get your daughter or son to both get excited and improve at the game of golf?  Both boys and girls ages 10-17 are invited to participate in a Middle/High School Golf Team Clinic designed to prepare them to tryout for their high school or middle school golf team, which is the stepping-stone to college scholarships.  Over one hundred local students have participated in this specialized clinic in the past seven seasons, with the large majority of them successfully competing in their middle or high school teams.

Eight (8) hours of instruction over 4 sessions are dedicated to covering all aspects of the game: golf etiquette, rules of golf, putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, irons, and woods.  The final 2 hours will be an actual on-course experience covering club selection, uneven lies, yardages, and other golf topics.  The cost: $229.  Contact PGA Certified Golf Professional John Trujillo by e-mail or at 719-963-0327 to sign up today.
