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!

Ok dude... As someone who is about to get a degree from the purdue school of engineering (started at Purdue and now in an IUPUI program), you may want to look at it a little more along the lines of what type of engineer you want to be and other than the term engineer and some of the the same math courses most of em don't have a darn thing to with one another. Just a tip.

the crappy thing is that you're not going to find alot of d3 or d2 schools with engineering programs that are accredited. Which means they're really not worth the effort. When you say golf is a priority do you mean you its just fun to you and you would like to play for a team. Because then I'd go for a division 3 program. You practice up and get it down around 80 or so and you may have a fightin chance at makin the team. Now if you want more of a career path with golf I'd suggest going on google and typing in a search for "Professional Golf Management" or other golf related careers. Just kinda an after thought.. what type of engineer where ya thinking of being?

Sasquatch, it's admirable that you're thinking about college golf. I played 2 years at Hampton Univ., which is probably on the lowest level of D-1. Even at a school like that, you'll want to average high 70's to have a chance at traveling. If you really want to focus on playing, find you a course that's at least 6800 yds. If you can consistently get 80 and below, try to walk on (that's what I did). Also, most importantly, find a school that 1) has a good reputation for your major and 2) you'll feel comfortable at. Good luck.

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.

dude, first of all, wake is known to smart people as Wake Forest University. You know, the one that is in the ACC, right? Also, i have no dreams to be the next tiger woods, i was leaving a comment and i am not the OP. Nice try though...you must have felt cool trying to correct someone!

Personally, I think your best bet is to go to the best college you can get into for school and work on being a walk-on golfer. One of my Fraternity brother's is a +1 and is trying to walk on our golf team. I know a 3 hcp who isn't even getting consideration.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
