General Golf Recruiting Advice:
NCAA Golf: Where do You Best Fit In?

The simplest recruiting advice: study and understand your specific sport on a high school and a collegiate / NCAA level. High school golf is unique from high school football – and as a “non-revenue” NCAA sport, it certainly differs from NCAA football and basketball. College golf recruiting is as competitive (and can often be more competitive) than football or basketball recruiting.

The key to improving your college recruiting and scholarship chances is being informed.  Understand the landscape of your sport on a high school and NCAA level and begin to understand where you fit within that landscape. Do you fit in best in Division I, II, or III softball? And how do your athletic goals fit within that? Do you have strong geographic preferences and how will that impact your college choices?

As you begin to develop and mature academically and athletically, consider your current skill-sets and where you intend to be as a high-school graduate and as a college-graduate. Understanding your personal, athletic, and academic interests and skills is crucially important as you enter the college recruiting process.

Begin collecting information and data about universities, teams, and coaches as early as you can because this is an integral step in setting the academic, athletic and collegiate goals that will guide you through the college recruiting process.

You can find complete golf statistics for division I, II, and III golf online at http://www.ncaasports.com. How do those stats compare to yours? What do you need to improve to match statistics and what are the various team's strengths and weaknesses?

While determining which teams might be good fits for your abilities and talents, study the conferences and division layouts. Polls / rankings are published during and after the seasons -- these polls are excellent ways to study the landscape of NCAA golf. Take a look at final 2003-2004 division I golf rankings as determined by the 2004 Championship:
