My Senior year is coming up and I got to start thinking of some colleges to go too. Golf is deffianetly a priority, however I dont think im at the skill level to play on a division one team.. What are some great colleges to look at when it comes to golf.. any division any where, and of course money is an issue but maybe something will work out, Im not to shure what specifics im going to study, maybe more along the lines of engineering. Anyways I thought I should ask for some advice/help from you guys!

check out elon university...i wanna go there even though im just a sophomore. They have a golf team, but you need to be around scratch, just like most colleges! They do have a driving range on campus and a club golf program though. Good luck!

I'm not sure many people are going to know too much about golf other than division one schools. If you arent division one caliber and still want to play just check out some smaller local collegs in your area.

I'm going to purdue next summer and studying engineering and they have 3 golf courses ON CAMPUS, as well as over 10 in the surrounding area of west lafayette.

i'd worry about your grammar before you start thinking about choosing a "golf" school.

With that grammar, I don't think you need to be looking at D1 schools for other reasons.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

Also, no offense, but i personally know someone who is going to wake on a full ride for golf, and hes a scratch. So basically your not going to go to any D1 school for golf unless you are insane at golf.

Ignorant responses. I have less than perfect grammar and I'm going to a very good school. Typing on an internet forum doesn't show the whole story and he wants to be an engineer, so english is less important than other things like math and science.

As a very successful Electrical Engineer I can state with experience and expertise that proper written and verbal communication are essential and typically more important than math and science in Engineering. Otherwise, when the folks you quoted were telling the OP to get his priorities straight, they could have done it in a more reasonable fashion. Regards, -E

As I totally agree(I worked as a drafter over the summer and worked with engineers), things like that can be caught when using word and more effort is put in when it's towards something more important than a golf forum. Math is still much more important when getting into a university. My math and science scores were much higher than my english and reading scores on the ACT.

My first thought is that if you are just now getting started on this, you are probably way behind the curve already. My guess is that folks who get the few scholarships out there to play golf are already playing in as many junior tournaments as they can, making a bit of a name for themselves, letting the golf coaches come and watch them play, etc. A few weeks back, I was watching a program on TGC showing the golf school that Hank Haney does for aspiring college golfers, and they start early, work their tails off at their game, while keeping their grades up, and still Haney has to make calls and sell these players to their future college coaches (even then, if they get a scholarship, they are sometimes just 1/2 scholarships). If you aspire to play college golf, even on a small division level, you should probably get real busy right now.

Well this fall I will be attending a division 3 school in MN, and I want to play on the golf team but they only take 15 players and the coach said they are all at or under a 3 handicap. I will need to work hard, but the competition these days is stronger than ever.

Not to be a stickler. If your handicap is really around a 17; I'm just curious how you plan to play golf on a collegiate level? Two of my friends play college golf, one at a Division 2 and one at a Division 3... They are both 2-scratch handicap golfers.

Ya, generally golfers good enough to play in college wouldnt have to ask us. No offense bud, just stating truth.

Save a little extra, get a student membership somewhere, and enjoy playing whenever you can.

Many schools have 'golf clubs', which often compete in open competitions, as well as friendly and liesure play. Check out those.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

I have never heard of any college level player that shoots that high.

Perhaps this is a good time to set some other goals.

wake? the "l" is next to the "k". how did you forget it? and how did you get "e" in there? i think you need to focus on your school work before having pipe dreams of becoming tiger woods.

Unless you have serious ambitions of turning professional then I'd suggest you think about the quality of the education you're going to get over what sort of golf team a school has; because in reality, you're most likely going to end up making a living off of the degree you end up getting, not the school's golf team.
