2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Regional Championships – Stanford, CA

It’s an exciting time for NCAA Golf. Teams are traveling and qualifying for a chance to win the 2016 NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

Websters dictionary defines probability – the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case.

For the purpose of a fun discussion, what if you could predict future performance? Or what if you could predict the outcome of a certain tournament? This is nearly impossible to do in golf because of so many outside influences on score. Weather, golf course, bad luck, bad bounce, whatever, it’s next to impossible.

But what if you could calculate the probabilities of a tournament? For example, using statistical and econometric models you can produce the probabilities on how each team will finish in the NCAA Regional Tournaments. This is NOT a prediction, this is the probability on how each team will finish in each regional.

Through a complex systems of pulleys, levers, launch angles and calculations, we have listed the teams and how they will finish in the each region – 2016 NCAA Women’s Golf Championships. To see other Regional Probabilities, Baton Rouge, LABryan, TXShoal Creek, ALStanford, CA

4 Topics All Junior Golfer Need To Communicate

One of the many great aspects about College Golf Camps®is the information you receive from college coaches and industry experts. Junior golfers and parents have the amazing opportunity to listen and learn about so many different topics including NCAA guidelines, raising junior golfers, reaching peak performance, swing instruction, etc. One of the topics frequently raised is “how to contact college coaches?” What are the NCAA rules, when should you contact them, etc.

It’s a complicated world we live in. Junior Golf families complicate it even more by trying to create the “perfect” email or the “perfect” resume or even better the “perfect” golfer. You already know this, however we are here to tell you that “perfect” doesn’t exist in golf. So, since we are not telling you anything you don’t already know, in terms of “perfect”. Here are 4 basic components that your emails need to include when contacting college golf coaches.

Always attempt to KEEP IT SIMPLE

#1 – Who are you?
Coaches need to know your name, year of graduation, home state, email and contact phone. Every email you ever send a coach should include those 5 basic points. They don’t need to know you started playing golf at age 2 or that you dream of playing college golf or that your daddy was the club champ since 1993….some things are obvious, right? At some point, you will need to share more information like GPA, SAT/ACT scores, etc. Until then, send those 5 basic points, ALWAYS!

#2 – Indicate that you’re paying attention
Let us be the first to tell you that MASS emails or copying and pasting are not attractive. General emails to coaches typically go right to the circular file…….For example, coaches often get emails addressed to the wrong coach or a different university….not good…..So, take five minutes and research how the team is doing and where they are going. You need to indicate to the coach that you have a significant interest in their school, not just playing college golf. For example, “Coach, I noticed y’all played Shady Oaks GC last week, I played a qualifier there last year, amazing golf course, love the history of Ben Hogan.” or “Coach, congratulations on the high finish last week in South Carolina, I can’t wait to help a college team win a tournament.”

This simple statement demonstrates that you have a intimate interest in that University and the golf program.

#3 – Where you’re going
Coaches need to know what tournaments and golf camps you’re attending. Not because they intend to change their whole summer schedule. But they might be attending a tournament or camp that you happen to be participating in. We don’t suggest you send your whole summer schedule at one time, but rather send the month of June and then in another email send the month of July, etc. This demonstrates that you’re organized and forecasting. For example, “Coach, I will be playing in the AAAA Junior Golf Tournament in Dallas next month, this is only a few miles from your campus, I look forward to stopping by to introduce myself.” or “Coach, I just signed up for College Golf Camps®in Dallas next month, I notice you’re one of the coaches attending the camp, I am looking forward to meeting you.” Or whatever, make sense?

#4 What are you working on?
You’re not perfect, coaches know that you’re not perfect and you should not try to be perfect. Let the coach know what you’re working on. Tell them quickly, what you do well, what you need to do better and how you’re doing it. For example, “Coach, I have really gained a lot of distance with the driver over the past year. However, my accuracy has gone down a bit. Currently my instructor and I are tightening up my swing and looking at different shafts to get a tighter dispersion without losing my distance. He has me in a Oban White Shaft with a quarter inch tip. He also has focused on getting my chest through the ball, almost swinging left to help prevent a hard hook. I am excited for the added distance and continue to work hard finding that accuracy.” Again, be transparent, you’re not perfect, but communicate that you have a plan for improvement.

Performing Under Pressure, Enhance Your Performance!!

Mental Training for Golf

How much money are you willing to spend on a new driver to hit it further or more accurate?

How much money are you willing to spend on premier instruction?

The answer is the same for all of us. ANY AMOUNT NECESSARY to gain optimal performance, right?

So, how much have your spent on equipment and instruction?

Next question……how much have you invested into the mental side of golf? Answer………NOT ENOUGH…..

College Golf Camps®has recently partnered with Winning Mind, LLC in San Diego, California. Winning Mind uses The Attentional & Interpersonal Style (TAIS) inventory- the world’s best assessment methodology to help individuals understand the conditions that undermine performance and help them operate more successfully under stressful conditions. This test allows you to compare your mental skills against other Elite Golfers.

Sample Junior Golfer Results
Sample Junior Golfer Results

Whether you like the analogy or not, the truth is, sport can be like entering combat. Sometimes your adversary is your opponent. Sometimes the real adversary is yourself. As well all know, golf is played against the golf course and yourself. We can’t help you improve your technical skills (e.g., how to swing the club or putt). This is better left to you and your coach or instructor. What we can do is help you make the best use of your physical talent and skills. It takes more than a long tee shot to win a golf tournament. It takes more than a beautiful golf swing to bounce back from defeat.

What if Junior Golfers could provide the following items to coaches: Rankings, Scores, Tournament Statistics, Swing Analysis(ie TrackMan, Flight Scope) and Mental Assessment. What more could a coach ask for? Physical skills, overall performance combined with your mental performance is a thorough assessment of your golf game.

Concentration skills, and the ability to shift both the width and direction (internal vs. external) are critical determinants of success or failure in virtually any performance situation. You cannot cross the street safely, without paying attention to performance relevant cues. You cannot communicate with another individual effectively without paying attention to the right cues. You cannot problem solve, without shifting attention and focusing on task relevant cues. You cannot get out of the starting blocks in the Olympics in time to win the race, without paying attention to the right cues.

The total package for junior golfers is now available. Email juniorgolf@collegegolfcamps.com NOW!!

Ok, so I have taken the test now what?

College Golf Camps®is pleased to introduce Dr. Nick Molinaro of drnickmolinaro.com, frequently seen on The Golf Channel’s The Golf Fix with Michael Breed and on SiriusXM PGATour Radio on A New Breed of Golf with Michael Breed. Dr. Nick is the Mental Coach for the Michael Breed Golf Academy, Fiddler’s Elbow Golf and Tennis Academies. He also works with athlete in all sports from Juniors to World Class.

The evaluation will assess 20 mental skills used in your golf performance. Dr. Nick will make a detailed analysis and each golfer will receive a 30 min debriefing video customized for each player indicating strengths and areas that need to be improved with mental tips from him. The assessment will be administered on-line and will take approximately 20-30 min.

Follow-up sessions with Dr. Nick with on-line mental skills coaching and hands-on-club-on-course training can be arranged and customized for the player’s needs.

Dr. Nick is offering the same golf mental skills assessment package that he uses with all of his players on the PGA, Web.com, LPGA, Symetra, Champions’, etc.
