How Strong Do I Need To Be To Compete In College Golf
Understand what matters most: 1. athletics, 2. academics, 3. budget
Becoming part of a college Golf team depends on a lot of different factors:
Athletics
It always starts with your athletic level. If you can’t contribute to the team’s success, coaches will most likely not show a huge amount of interest.
Academics
After that, your academic background comes into play. Your grades in high school and your academic test scores determine whether you would be admitted to a school.
Budget
Thirdly, unless you are an athlete with the potential to have an immediate impact, a full-ride scholarship is very uncommon and you will need some sort of budget to cover the remaining costs of attendance.
Strong(er) athletically & academically - less money needed.
