Is It Too Early to Start Thinking College Golf?

Interesting blog post from Brandi Jackson who started coaching and consulting with junior golf families in 2011, Brandi has coached and consulted over 50 competitive junior golfers on an individual basis, along with running camps and clinics to introduce the game of golf to over 100 kids. She does not teach swing mechanics; instead she focuses her coaching on short game creativity, practice drills, on-course management, mental toughness, work ethic and player development.

Enjoy the read from Brandi!

After giving up my professional golf career in 2010, I started working with junior golf families throughout the college recruiting process. I was speaking at high schools and tournaments all across the country about the realities of college recruiting and how to navigate the process. This was the first time I had become aware of how much the process had changed since I had gone through it as a junior golfer. One of the biggest eye openers for me was how early the process starts (and ends) and how unaware some families were about what it takes to play at the college level.

I am a huge believer in keeping the game fun and not putting too much pressure on a young player.

Nowadays there seems to be a lot more responsibility put on kids and more specialization of sports at a young age. I couldn’t imagine not having
the experiences I had as a 3 sport athlete. Unfortunately those are rare these days. But after working in the college recruiting business for
almost 5 years now, I see why things have shifted in the direction they have. One of the least favorite and heartbreaking parts of my job is having to tell a young player that playing golf at their dream school just isn’t an option. Either they waited too late to decide they want to play college golf, their game just didn’t develop in enough time or they weren’t aware of the level of competitive golf that they needed in order to be recruited by that particular school. Many different scenarios have led to me having to be the bearer of bad news, even to young 8th and 9th graders.

Because of this I am a big advocate for understanding the realities of playing college golf at a younger age and being more aware of the recruiting process timeline. It’s hard to believe that a 14 or 15 year old player can actually be far enough behind in the process to have already eliminated a handful of top golf programs from being realistic schools. This in no way means they can’t improve and still play at a great university on a competitive golf team, but the top 20-30 D1 golf programs are identifying potential recruits as early as 8th and 9th grade, and in many cases have finished their recruiting before a player even finishes their sophomore year of high school. Crazy, I know! But unfortunately that is the reality of the recruiting process in the modern world.

So with all that said, my goal is to provide the information and understanding to girls of ages and skill levels, so they better understand what they need to do in order to reach their goals. The purpose is not to put more pressure on the girls, but instead help them better mature and develop skills necessary to not only play golf at a higher level, but also excel in life. So, to answer the question, “is to too early to think about college golf”? If you have a young girl who has shown genuine interest in the game of golf and they talk about wanting to play competitively then it’s not to early to make sure you have an understanding of what needs to be done in order to help them reach their goals. The last thing anybody wants is to look back and wish you would have known more and done more.

Want to hit it further by not swinging faster?

Welcome to College Golf Camps weekly junior golf swing tip. This week CGC welcomes Joey Wuertemberger, Lead Master Instructor at Jim McLean Golf Academy in Ft. Worth, Texas. Joey has a very impressive stable of junior golfers and college golfers. Joey has become the busiest instructor in the Jim McLean system.

Want to hit it further by not swinging faster?

Try this simple drill next time your at the range!

Everyone is looking for more distance these days, and to be honest it’s a simple answer plus you don’t even need to swing faster.

How do you do it you might ask? Simple – Improve your angle of attack. The angle of attack is the direction the clubhead is moving up or down at impact. Any ball on the ground, always strive for a negative attack angle, but if you want to maximize distance with the driver, hitting up on the ball (positive angle of attack) is a must.

If you want to know exactly if you’re hitting up on the ball -try this simple drill.

1.) Take a sleeve of golf balls (without balls in the sleeve) and place the sleeve 8 – 12” inches in front of the ball.

2.)Take your normal set – up and swing. If you can hit the ball high on the face and safely escape the sleeve – You did it! If not – now you know what you need to work on for maximizing distance.

Contact Joey Wuertember at joeyatjimmclean.com

Goose Gateway Tour, Tar Heel Tour, Hooters Tour, Canadian Tour, and the

CGC – San Diego another great success!

College Golf Camps – San Diego was another HUGE success for junior golfers!! Once again, CGC guaranteed 18 college golf coaches and guess what? We had 18 amazing college golf coaches!!

A wise person once said “You cannot fear the experience you wish to have.” CGC is that experience you are looking for, do you have the courage to take advantage of the opportunity?

For the first time, Dr. David Cook presented two hours of information at CGC. Let’s just say, it was BIG TIME!!

Day one started at 6am, yes, 6am!! South Florida’s Coach Steve Bradley started things off with educating the players on playing to W.I.N. The La Costa Resort guests and yoga people loved all of the coaches and campers chanting “I AM GREAT, I AM GREAT” at 7am……

Campers moved into the educational portion on the golf course followed by team practice sessions.

We could write more, but you will just need to experience it yourself. Gary S., CGC San Diego parent from Washington says “This is literally the best money we have ever spent in junior golf. Such an amazing opportunity.”

CGC Las Vegas is December 5th and 6th with another great group of coaches.
