PING College Golf Guide

Posted by Alan L. Hammond Jan 23, 2007

Where there are talented amateur athletes, there will be people waiting to take their money. In the case of high school golfers, as well as other athletes, there are plenty of recruiting agencies promising to get them noticed by Division I schools. In some cases recruiting agencies are legitimate, in many cases they are not. Among the innumerable things the PING American College Golf Guide does is give students and parents a way to become educated and make good decisions about the scholarship and college-selection process.

The PING Guide, available via the Internet or in print form, helps junior golfers evaluate themselves, set their priorities and plan for their future. It assists golfers in identifying the opportunities for becoming noticed by college golf programs and what to do if not recruited by the bigger schools.

One tool the guide provides is Interactive Score Conversion. This allows young golfers to see where their own scores would rank in any NCAA or NAIA conference, regional or national golf tournament. The cool thing about the score conversion tool is that you can see what you would have scored each day, as scores are adjusted due to weather and other conditions, and where you would have likely finished.

Put all this together and you have a method of identifying the schools where you would best fit in athletically, as well as socially and academically, as the guide is not limited to golf statistics. You can learn more about the PING American College Golf Guide at collegegolf.com. If considering whether you can play at the next level, you probably can. This guide will help get you there.
