Q&A to pass the time on this flight to THE MASTERS

"We play an individual sport but I wasn't alone today." An emotional Gary Woodland reflects on his win only a few years removed from brain surgery.

@playgolfcollege @bcs4isu Nailed it!

What College Golf Is Actually Like Most junior golfers dream about college golf. Almost none of them know what it actually looks like. After coaching at Duke and Ohio State, and sending 165+ players into programs across every division, here’s what college golf is really like: 1. It’s a job. Early morning workouts. Film sessions. Travel weekends. Team meetings. The romance fades fast if you’re not truly committed. You are an athlete first, a student second, and a normal college kid third. In that order, most days. The players who thrive treat it like a profession from day one. 2. The jump is real. The gap between the best junior golfer in your state and the average D1 player is significant. Prepare accordingly. The speed of the game increases. The courses are harder. The fields are deeper. Most freshmen are humbled before they’re ready to contribute. That’s normal. Plan for it. 3. You will sit the bench. Most freshmen don’t play right away. How you handle not being in the lineup defines your trajectory more than your talent does. Coaches watch practice players just as closely as tournament players. Nothing is invisible. The ones who stay ready when they’re not playing are the ones who earn the spot eventually. 4. The coach relationship is everything. You will spend more time with your college coach than almost anyone in your life for four years. Choose that person carefully. A great coach at a smaller program will develop you faster than a disconnected coach at a prestigious one. Ask hard questions on your visit. How do you communicate with players? How do you handle conflict? What happens when I’m struggling? 5. Teammates matter. You travel with these people. You compete with them for spots. The culture they create will shape who you become. Talk to the players on a visit without the coaches present. They’ll tell you the truth. The best programs feel like families. You’ll know it when you walk in. 6. Academics are harder than you think. Golf travel means missing class, managing makeups, and studying on the road. This is not optional. Programs that don’t support your academic success aren’t programs worth attending. Ask about graduation rates and academic support before you ask about the practice facility. 7. It’s a short window. Four years goes fast. The players who are present for the journey enjoy it. The ones always looking ahead miss it. Freshman year feels long. Senior year feels like a weekend. The players I’ve coached who were the happiest competed hard and stayed present. Both. At the same time. 8. Not everyone turns pro. The goal of college golf is not the Tour. It’s becoming the best version of yourself as a player and a person. Keep perspective. Less than 1% of college golfers play professionally. Plan your four years around the 99%. The discipline, teamwork, and work ethic you build will pay dividends for the next 40 years of your career. That’s the real return on investment. 9. The right division matters more than the prestige. Playing every weekend at a D2 program beats riding the bench at a D1 program for four years. Fit is the most underrated word in recruiting. Academic fit. Cultural fit. Geographic fit. Golf fit. I’ve watched players thrive at NAIA programs and wither at Power Five programs. The division does not predict the experience. 10. You have to want it. Coaches can feel the difference between a player who chose their program and a player who settled for it. Be somewhere you chose. Motivation borrowed from your parents doesn’t survive the first hard stretch of college golf. The players who last are the ones who chose the game, chose the school, and chose the grind. All three. On their own. The dream is worth chasing. Just make sure you understand what you’re chasing.

Thanks for making us proud, Champ. ❤️#ForBeef

Have a day, James Nicholas! 👏👏👏 The U.S. Open rookie and medalist from the Summit, N.J. qualifier is one of just 10 players in red figures after Round 1.

Congrats @ZoskeIsaiah on a great run! Could sit and list the accomplishments over the years but they don’t really matter. Didn’t get the ending to a high school career he wanted….but that’s golf. It’s a really hard game and even an even harder game to win. Similar to life. You can’t always control your breaks or how others play. Just play the game. All of you with kids playing, be patient, don’t pressure, it’s a lifetime process. Junior and high school golf is a very short chapter in a long book….it goes too fast, take it in. Couldn’t be more proud of this young man. Not for what he did on the course but more how he handled himself both in victory and defeat. That’s harder than the game itself. As a parent make sure you instill that in your kids. It matters and people watch. Thanks for the first chapter son, excited for the next one. It starts today!

Let's meet our 2025 Iowa High School Golf Showcase Invitees...

@MeyerCory23 Goff!

Who does everyone like for NFL league MVP race? Darnold has been incredible and deserved discussion in it! Keeps so many plays alive with ability to move in pocket and throw with pressure in his face. Has been clutch in several 4th quarter wins.
