College Golf Camps of America is beyond excited to announce our first all girl’s camp featuring Stacy Lewis. CGC – Stacy Lewis will be January 16th – 18th, 2015 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Stacy Lewis embraces the essence of the “late-bloomer” as it relates to junior and college golf. Stacy played 4 years at the University of Arkansas and graduated with a double-major in finance. She also won 12 college tournaments and the 2007 individual NCAA championship.

Lewis was never the highly ranked junior golfer. Of course, she had huge challenges physically, which she has overcome. She is the “All-American” girl when it comes to junior golf. Kelley Hester, current Head Golf Coach at Furman University coached Stacy while at University of Arkansas, says “Stacy is the ultimate “cinderella story”. She climbed the ranks of college golf as a relatively unknown in junior golf to become one of the top female golfers in the world. As Stacy’s college coach, it has been fun to watch her continue to challenge herself and succeed at all levels. Every little girl dreaming to play on tour should hear her story and learn from her experience.”

A portion of the proceeds from Stacy’s camp will benefit a charity commensurate with her passion.

“It is a great honor to partner with College Golf Camps to start their first ever all girl’s camp. I am very passionate about women in sport and providing a platform for us to stand alone. I look forward to sharing my college experience and the things that I have learned since with the campers. I can’t wait to see everyone in West Palm Beach in January!” – Stacy Lewis, LPGA

“To say that we are excited to have Stacy Lewis on board is the understatement of the year. Stacy is the epitome of why we exist. College Golf Camps attempts to provide junior golfers and families with opportunities never seen before. Stacy’s accomplishments are truly amazing, her passion to succeed is remarkable.” says Nick Rook, CGC’s President/Founder “Having Stacy involved in our first girl’s only camp only furthers our mission to advance the opportunities for junior golfers to achieve their dreams.”

Rick Allen is the founder of Informed Athlete. Rick has over 25 years of NCAA experience in rules, transfers, academics, etc.

We are proud to say he is apart of our team here at CGC. “Rick’s experience in NCAA rules is exceptional. Any student-athlete or family of a student-athlete would greatly benefit from speaking with Rick.” says CGC President, Nick Rook.

Recently Rick wrote a blog on NCAA eligibility requirements for student-athletes. Rick’s website is www.informedathlete.com here you will find volumes of NCAA information that will surely benefit your family.

Are you confident that your son or daughter meets, or will meet, the new NCAA Division I eligibility requirements for Fall 2016 incoming freshman?

If you’re a high school athlete or parent of a high school athlete who will graduate in 2016 or after, it’s important to know that the NCAA Division I eligibility requirements are changing!

What happens if an athlete is not certified as a “Qualifier” for Division I freshman eligibility? If your athlete doesn’t meet the NCAA Division I requirements for freshman eligibility because they didn’t take the required core courses, or don’t have the necessary GPA, or ACT or SAT test score, the consequences are:

• Your athlete cannot receive an athletic scholarship during their freshman unless the requirements for “Academic Redshirt” are met

• Your athlete will NOT be eligible to compete during their freshman year.

• Your athlete will not be eligible to practice with the team or attend weight training with their team.

If your athlete goes to a JUCO their freshman year as a non-qualifier:

• They will NOT be eligible to transfer to a Division I program after just one year.

• Your athlete will also have more extensive academic requirements at the JUCO

Don’t be on the outside looking in!
The hardest thing I had to do when I worked on campus was tell an athlete they weren’t eligible to play their sport because they hadn’t met the core course requirements for eligibility.

This is why we created Informed Athlete’s Freshman Eligibility & Transcript Review service, so we can help high school athletes and parents be better informed and prepared without unpleasant surprises!

With Informed Athlete’s Freshman Eligibility and Transcript Review, we will:

• Explain the freshman eligibility requirements and how they affect you.

• Compare the courses completed with your high school’s “core course” listing.

• Provide an assessment of the subjects that need to be completed to satisfy initial (freshman) eligibility requirements.

• Review your son or daughter’s ACT or SAT test scores, and determine the GPA that will be needed for eligibility, and
• Suggest steps and discuss a plan of action that may be available to satisfy the eligibility requirements.

1. Body language

2. Mental focus

3. Pre-shot routine

4. Set-up

5. Putting skills

6. Short game skills

7. Ball striking

8. Biggest strength

9. Area for improvement

10. General thoughts on the junior golf camper

These aspects of junior golf are paramount. Each camper receives at 3 of these evaluations at all of our junior golf camps.

It is widely known that college golfers have huge challenges when it comes to missing class. This is why junior golfers need to have exceptional time management skills when transitioning into college golf.

College golfers miss a lot of class due to tournaments. Sometimes college golfers will miss 2 – 3 days a week because of travel. Now, some junior golfers might be thinking “that is awesome, I get to miss 2-3 days of class and play golf”. In the short term, it might be awesome, but in the long term it will be a huge challenge academically.

Junior golfers need to practice great time management skills in high school because it will only get more difficult once you arrive at college. Coaches and their teams have requirements due to NCAA bylaws. Coaches are more focused on academics because of those academic standards.

At College Golf Camps, we broach the topic of “transitioning from junior golf to college golf” and this is one of the main topics that is discussed. That and having to do your own laundry.

Junior golfers: we encourage you to sharpen your time management skills and minimize the distractions around you. You only get one chance to get it right, stay focused on your goals!! TIME MANAGEMENT MATTERS!!
