The College Golf Decision Tree ๐
Using College Coaches' Advice in Choosing a School
Those of you who have been reading this Substack for a while might recall a survey I sent out to more than 50 of my former colleagues (college coaches) last Summer. In the survey, I asked a ton of questions related to recruiting.
Iโve now compiled the advice into a decision tree with the intent of making it easier for recruits to determine if the school might be a fit or not. Itโs a free resource. Use the button below to view the full decision tree.
If you havenโt done so already, please consider subscribing to the Newsletter. Itโs free. Also, if you enjoy the content and resources provided here, please share this post with someone who might find it useful. Thanks!
