NCAA Nationals ๐
MikkelGolf.com Newsletter #21
What is it like preparing a team for the National Championship as a College Golf Coach?
๐ This week, I had the opportunity to write another article for Clippd. As the NCAA Menโs DI Championship starts today, I thought the topic above would be fitting. I will let the Clippd article serve as this weekโs write up. You can find it โ HERE.
๐ The womenโs DI Championship just wrapped up. Congratulations to the champions, Stanford! Omni La Costa looks like a great challenge. I canโt wait to follow the action all week long.
You can follow the NCAA Menโs DI Championship โ HERE this week.
๐ Also, letโs test a new potential segment: PERFORMANCE DRILL OF THE WEEK. Let me know if you think I should continue this segment weekly!
This week, an 8 foot putting drill working on ball start and green reading.
Benefits: Ball start, putter aim, green reading.
Equipment needed: Putting tutor and tees.

See the video in the link below for the full description.
