Unless you plan to make a living in the golf business, then a college degree in some other area is far more important. This, even if it means less golf for a while. A person who gets their important educational priorities in order at an early age will live more comfortably when they get older. IMHO I think  that too many younger folks don't plan far enough a head. Too many live for the moment, and by the time they want to retire, they can't. 

He should have graduated by now since the thread is over 5 years old.

I usually read the date of the OP, but didn't for this one.  Got sucked in...   He might be dead for all we know.

Would be nice if the topicstarter told us what he did.

Post is from 2010. the starter of this thread should have started college in the Fall of 2011 and maybe finished last June, unless he or she played too much golf,

You haven't really given enough info . .for example. . if you want to be a doctor and have a chance to go to John's Hopkins then you would have to be an idiot to go to Florida so you can play golf. On the other hand, let's say you want to be a computer programmer, teacher or social worker or whatever . . . there are plenty of good schools in every part of the country for that. I would agree with everybody else though that school should come first no matter where you decide to go. When you got that fat job and paycheck you can join the country club and play a lot of golf.

This. 

In general go to the best school you can for your future. It will pay off in 1000 fold when you graduate.

Tell that to all of the students who labor under a massive student loan debt.
