I wasn't a highly recruited player out of high school. So I don't want you to think you need to be a big name player to be recruited for college golf. You need to have a SOLID short game, decent ball striking, and a WORK ETHIC of a maniac. Having a good instructor is HUGE in helping you reach your goals of playing college golf. Invest in a high end instructor or let me help you with your golf swing and get you recruited for college golf. Being that I've been through the process I'm confident I can help you get recruited. College golf was an awesome experience for me and has shaped me into the person I am today. I'm excited to help you take on that same path. Leave a comment below if you have any questions

I’m coming from a women’s college golf perspective but I think this applies to men and women too: it really doesn’t matter what you shoot freshman and sophomore year if you aren’t a phenom. If you play well your junior and senior years, so long as you’re showing improvement from the early years you will have some interest from college coaches.
I didn’t start playing golf until my sophomore year of high school and I started off shooting in the 100s! And I was over the moon when I broke 95! But I worked very hard and got my scores down to the low 70s by my early senior year and signed to a D1 school in California in the February signing period.
If you don’t feel super confident in your scores, just show a coach that you have the ability and the drive to improve exponentially while you’re playing for them. A lot of the times a good coach will be willing to take a chance on you. They might not offer as much scholarship money as you would hope but they will give you the chance to play for their team and/or bump your scholarship up as the years go by.
This.
And emphasis on the fact that you don't have to be a phenom. I was no where near a phenom, but I sent out some emails and some coaches were willing to take a chance on me. Show them you're willing to put in a ton of work and your desire to get as good as you can possibly be and you'll get a chance. That's all you need. What coach wouldn't want a kid that genuinely wants to be a high level player and is willing to put in the extra work?
I will say though... I think for womens golf, since there's less girls in junior golf in comparison to the guys it's easier for girls to sign to pretty big D1 schools. But that's kind of besides the point lol
Luke Kwon Golf Yeah I agree! Just put in the work and prove that you’re dedicated to getting better and coaches will notice that. Good programs with great coaching are willing to take risks on players that show improvement.
Yeah I agree about the men’s vs. women’s thing. Girl’s golf scholarships are much easier to get because the competition isn’t quite as stiff. That and the level you have to achieve to sign to a top tier D1 school isn’t nearly as high as it is for men. Where most high school aged guys have to shoot in the high 60s to guarantee a spot at a school in the top 50 ranking, girls can average 71 and basically go wherever they want.
wow ok thanks for the insight i started playing this year and its my sophmore year but we only do 9 holes and idk y we dont do 18 or all u guys do 9 but i doubt it but i wnna go to college anywwy i can track football or golf
this helped me too much i cant even explain. thank you.
Couple of things I left out in this video that I keep getting alot of emails/DM's about:
1. *Try to play in AJGA(dot)org tournaments AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.* These are going to be the benchmark for what college coaches will use for tournament golf performance. If you're outside the US, try to play in some tournaments that will get you WAGR (World amateur golf ranking) points. It's a bit harder if you're outside the country but it can definitely be done.
2. *When you contact the coaches,* simply tell him/her that you're interested in playing for them and putting in the work to make the traveling 5. Give him/her your career resume with the tournaments and scores you've posted at those tournaments. Don't leave out the bad scores, put them all in there. Coaches want to know how good your good is but also how bad your bad is. Give him a schedule for future tournaments you're playing in so he/she can come watch if he/she's interested.
3. I don't recommend filling out the questionnaires that are on the websites. If you'd like, you can search "ping american college golf guide" in google and it should be the first search result that comes up. That resource costs I think $50 but *it will give you the email addresses for all college coaches in the nation.* I personally didn't use that when I was a junior golfer but it sounds useful and I know others who did use it.
4. If you are outside the US trying to play college golf in the US, I’m not really the best guy to ask what to do. I personally didnt have to go that route and don’t know exactly what the process would be for that. But if I were to guess I would say to find the big amateur/junior events that you can play in your country and get your WAGR or World Amateur Golf Ranking up so coaches will notice you 👍
Hey Luke great video would really like to get in touch with you and talk to you about getting your advice because I really,want to be a collage athlete especially in golf and right now I am far behind the curve because I am barely starting my junior year but I’m right know that I could be shooting the the lower 80’s and I have only been playing for 3 months I am an ex football player and have a great work ethic this summer I was putting about 7 hr day at the golf course and would really need your help because all in all I want to help my family how because I know they would pay for me to further my education up I really would love to have paid at least a little bit more me thank you for the advice you gave out on this video and would love get in touch with you
Hey Christian! I can tell you really have the drive to go put in the work, keep putting in the work but as you said, you don't have as much time. You're a bit behind the 8 ball and you need to be able to use the little time you have as efficiently as possible. I strongly suggest investing in a top 100 instructor or use my swing program to help you get a sense of direction because you don't have much time to experiment and figure things out on your own. My program will cut the learning curve and help you get better in a much faster pace
Okay I really don’t know what your program is but I am willing to anything to earn a scholarship would you please tell about your program so I may look into to it because I have only been seriously playing for about 3 months now I am am already shooting in the low 90’s to lower mid 80’s and I could use anything to help me drop that because my goal is by 2019 to be playing scratch golf or really close to playing it. Thank you for you time in reading my comment and helping my by giving me your best opinion
@@christiandavid7734 did you sign anywhere?
Thanks for the video. I’m 14 and I average bogeys on every hole hitting from the blues, so I gained a lot of confidence by watching this.
SamF-789 same
how are you now?
What do you shoot now
Great advice for kids today. I’m 63 and played D1 golf in late 70’s.
I’ve been playing for 2 years and it’s my sophomore year. I can’t break 80 and it would be great if u can make a video on that. Thanks and love ur videos!
I wouldnt be able to tell you until I see your game itself but the biggest improvement in my game came from dialing in my wedges from 70-120. Get those dialed in and it’ll really help. I’ll make a video on this but it’ll be a bit later
Tiki did you sign? 😊
@@nicolasbitcoin2549 oh my god yeah
Especially if you are not from the US, you might want to contact your local and/or national golf association to see if they have a junior and/or amateur golf program. If you can get on to the national team for your country, that can get you into some international events where you can get noticed. There are quite a few events where the national golf association in each country has to come up with a team of 3-4 (or more) players.
Making a trip to the US to play some AGJA events would also be a good idea if that is manageable.
I can relate to the point when you said you get more and more comfortable to a score when you have shot it because I struggled to break par and often shot par or 1 or 2 over and when I played my first -1 I realised I can do it and two days later I did it again and I just felt really really good
Hello it's good to see someone have OU jacket on❤❤❤❤
300 or 400 in the junior golf rankings? That's pretty damn good. Obviously compared to the top ten in junior golf it's not AS good, but I think your perspective might be a little skewed because you have had such a successful golf career. Anyway, great content so far!
Haha I dont consider myself a successful golfer at all but thanks bro!
Luke Kwon Golf You should!
My careers not done yet ;)
Luke Kwon Golf I think most amateurs see a golf pro and consider that a success. I certainly do... However there is a vast spectrum within golf professionals so push on dude. I'm excited for the ride
Good point! Definitely depends on perspective
Cool vid... In the UK we don't have any opportunities like this... To be able to have a plan and work ur way into college is jst incredible.
Good work dude
I was supposed to address how kids in other countries can go about getting into US colleges for golf but I forgot lol. Definitely possible though, plenty of international players in college golf
Luke Kwon Golf it's jst not big like that over here... A lot of people don't get into golf over here until they are adults... Kids are too busy playin football (soccer) I didn't start playing golf until my mid 20s. If we had more knowledge or even the opportunities to find our way it would of been so cool. I'm envious of how the states do there education. They do it right
Haha yeah majority of kids here are into american football, basketball and baseball too. Golf is dwarfed by the big 3. Yeah its good! Just heavy on the bank account
Good stuff. Thanks a lot for that information.
Glad it helped Morris! 👍
Thanks for making this vid mate
+Derek Chavez Absolutely! Pt 2 coming tomorrow
I'm 12 and play from whites so this video is awesome
I play D2 college golf... It’s really doable to those who are really wanting to. I shot in the high 70’s all the way through jounior year but put in a lot of work in the summer. When you are a higher handicap all you need to do is practice a bunch and the score will come down. I shoot par and under now. But D1 is a different story. Golf is your job!
Absolutely! If youre willing to put in the work you definitely have a chance 👍
Turner Warren are you talking about in high school or college?
Samson Wood I shot 75 ish going into college and now I’m a solid 70
Okay I’ll start working on it some more thank you
Hi Luke! I’m a junior golfer in China. You know what, I knew you before cuz my hometown is Qinhuangdao!!! Where you got your first championship!!! For now I’m in sophomore year and preparing for get in the NCAA golf team
So what would your opening line be when emailing a coach?
I like the classic “what is up bitch”
Yeah assert dominance like chase collins
Chase Collins I love that one too
Chase Collins and it's awesome for some reason I won't go to school for a couple of days after that. It's so fun
Chase Collins lol
When you say "reach out to coaches" did you use those recruit questionaires offered by some programs or email coaches?
Id recommend emailing the coaches, dont use those questionaires 👍
This is great information. I’m currently a sophomore in high school shooting an average of 75. I definitely need to start contacting colleges soon. Only a few small colleges are currently following me or watching what I’m doing. Have a great coach that’s really helped me improve over that last couple of years. Rly want to go d1 to a power five school. Thanks for the great advice
Any updates
@@willhaack6094 completely forgot I watched this video. Didn’t really get good enough to do d1 until late summer 2023 so kind of limited my options. I’m signed d2 with gcsu for next year. Was the best option for college experience and golf. Hopefully will put myself in position to transfer d1 in year or two
I’m a freshman in highschool who plays soccer as a main sport but likes golf and has played 2 sets of 9 holes ever and I shot like +6 though 9.
Hey Luke! Just discovered this video and it’s awesome. I am a freshman in high school and my scoring average this past season was 81.5. I know that isn’t crazy good but I think this summer if I work every day I could get to around 77-78 for my sophomore season. I am currently playing on the Hurricane tour and my local PGA junior tour. Do you think that this summer would be a good time for starting AJGA events or wait until my junior year? Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and thoughts with us!👍
Ho is your journey going 2 years later
I’m a sophmore and my best all time round is -2 and i’m shot in the 40’s in our high school qualifiers.. I suck.
I’m taking a year off to work before I hopefully attend college in the fall. I can about mid eighties but I’ve never played in any tournaments. What do you suggest I work on or do before I reach out and tryout for a golf team?
Hey I am 16 and Playing just for 2.5 years . My Big Dream is to join a College Golf Team. My average score is 83 in 6 tournaments. My Handicap is actuel 6.6
No chance
@@vreeke777 Hi adri I have a scoring average of 75 now my current handicap is 1.1. I hope i can show you were wrong
@@twiceplays1827 do not dream to much for having a chance for succeed college golf at age 16 you need hc2 there are so much who hit 68 in the world so be awarre before you ( your family) spend 60.000 each year the chance to succeed ( make any money) as a playing proffesional is 5 %
Twice plays averaging 75 will most likely get you into d2, and give you a chance at d1. Congrats on the improvement.
Bro... u helped me out a lot!
I'm a 6.6 handicap golfer with 16 years old in my soft more year.
I would love to play college golf in USA but i'm from Portugal. Do you know (or does anyone knows) how i can get there?
Glad they've been helping man! You should definitely start contacting coaches this year and make sure you're playing in some golf tournaments so you can show them your results. There are definitely a good number of international golfers that get recruited to play in the US, so don't think you can't get there. Your best bet is to start looking at different college athletics websites and contacting coaches with your past results and future tournaments and show that you have interest in playing for them. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Luke Kwon Golf okay
What scores should I be shooting as a sophomore to start emailing coaches.
Hey luke. This is kind of a complex question so I understand if you dont know how to answer it. I want to start reaching out to coaches soon and I'm a sophomore by the way. But last year my scoring was awful because I had a back injury freshman year from a hit in football. I kind of had to relearn my swing and I've been going to the range alot lately and high school golf season is quickly approaching. In 8th grade prior to the injury I felt like I could play college golf and last year I wasnt sure. But recently at the range I've been seeing big improvements and I'm starting to feel my swing come back again. Do you have any advice on how to overcome an injury and come back stronger? Because I want to reach out to coaches eventually
Hey Luke,
I’m a Freshman in High School and I don’t even think I’m in the Junior Golf Rankings but I know I can outwork anyone just like what you said in your video but I don’t know what coaches to contact because I’ve heard they don’t read emails you got any advice?
When you say Junior Year do you mean summer between Sophomore and Junior or Junior and Senior?
Hey Luke during your years both in HS(high school) and AJGA what where your scores because I am a junior and I have pick up and have been 8 months now and I am a junior and I have been puting in those 8 hr days that you said in another one of your vids witch I found very inspirational and it kinda drove me and made me better and I and avg right now about 83 and I know I am going to get better I have already have some great success and I am able to drive in the 290 consistently, my irons game is strong my chipping and pitch could use a tune up and I am able to make almost anything within 10 feet putting wise what is your opinion on what I would do to help get me to the next level because I know the golfers in the AJGA are extremely good and crazy golfers and I don’t think I can afford to go to those tournaments show case my talent still in the works (also I do and I am able to play in some local tour called the Sun Country Amateur Golf Tour) what is yo,ur best advice for me to get to the next level
Nice bro! I talk about that in my "the fastest way to lower your scores" video 👍
i turned 15 yesterday and i’m on a 7 handicap after only playing for a year. everyone says i should take golf far and i’d love to get a scholarship at an american uni because i live in new zealand.
When you’re talking about freshman sophomore junior and senior were you talking about high school or college
How do i get like in contact with coaches? If by email how should I go about finding that? Would it be on their site?
Hi Luke I’m a twelve year old golfer shooting 85 a lot and I love it and I want to pursue it am I in a good place to play college as I get older and better
Ok I am going to have to disagree w a few things ur saying. First of all you don't need to be shooting 75 or lower in ur freshman year. I am playing division 1 next year and I was shooting 90s in freshman year. If you don't shoot those low scores when you are younger don't let that stop you from achieving your goal. Also don't stress if you don't get recruited in the early signing period becauase you have 5 more months to get signed. But hard work is definetly needed if u want to be a college golfer.
Just watched this and 😭
What if I am shooting high 80s to low 90s going into my sophomore year in high school and want to play college golf. Is this bad... I have dropped about 30 strokes in the past 3 months.
We had a guy on our team who played mostly hockey growing up and picked up a golf club I think his freshman or sophomore year and played for OU. Might be a bit of an anomaly and I don't want to give you false hopes but you'd be surprised what hard work, grit and determination will do for you. Get after it bro, there's nothing you can't do 👍
Maximillian Quevedo just keep working hard. I shot 89 in the state tournament my freshman year of high school. Now im in the top 50 in the NAIA as a college sophomore
As a high school sophomore we should talk to the coaches
Yep! You should get started contacting the coaches this summer. As many as you can, any colleges youre interested in
Hay man. I'm from Spain. I've started around 3 years playing golf seriously and around a year ago i started working really hard. Im 6 handicap and this last months ive been shooting around +1+3 so i think i could get to 3 or 4 relatively easy. What should i do to go to college if im not from the US?
So I’m going into my freshman year, I hit my clubs pretty straight and long but my short game sucks at this moment, I score and average of about 90 usually because of my bad putting, I’m very interested in college golf what do you think I should do
I’m going into 8 grade in a week and shoot low 80’s playing not the best. How is that? Also what year should you contact coaches?
Pretty solid! Gotta get it around 75/even par now though. I'd suggest contacting them freshman or sophomore year. But the earlier the better so coaches are aware you're out there 👍
Luke Kwon Golf I’m close my long game is struggling this year a little bit but I’m so close to becoming consistent. I have noticed 2 years ago I shot 100. 1 year ago I shot 90 and this year I shot 80 and will be lower. I love progress even though it may be tough
Well I’m a freshman and I’m a 5 handicap. When should I start reaching out to coaches?
huge osu fan but thanks
Man did I mess up, I'm a senior now shooting right around par sometimes under but I haven't talked to any coaches and haven't played in any tournaments. I know a lot of kids that play in tournaments but I'm the kind of kid that always thinks I'm not good enough to win so I shouldn't go. My mindset is way different than that now and I wish it was earlier. Pretty sure it's too late haha
Going into your senior year? You might have some time to go contact some D2 coaches and sign somewhere before february 2019 👍
Luke Kwon Golf yep, thanks for answering but how can I show any scores or anything without playing tournaments? All I would have for them to see is my scores from the high school season
Ah yeah that's pretty tough. I'd say try showing them your high school scores anyways. I'm sure there will be some D2 schools that are still looking to fill their roster for 2019
Luke Kwon Golf alright thanks for the help man, love your videos, keep it up
ok so i barley started playing golf this year its my 2 year in high school and we only play 9 holes i wnna go to colleg either for golf track or football and its already gonna be summer so im basically a junior and i need tips on what to do thanks'
Do coaches look at how many tournaments? like what if I can shoot really good scores but haven't played in almost any tournaments?
Nope! Good golf takes care of everything man. But that being said its very rare to see someone play only a couple tournaments and have really good performances. There are nerves that come with tournament golf and you learn how to deal with them by playing in more tournaments and gaining experience. But to answer your question, no coaches dont specifically care about the number of tournaments you play.
when you say sophomore summer do you mean the summer after your sophomore year or the summer before you are a sophomore
Hey I’m a Junior right now and I practice every Sony day for 2 hours I started playing when I was a sophomore and now I’m shooting in the high 80s do u think I have a shot at like a small local college like Georgia state.
Gotta go practice more than that bro! Go put in the work and you'll be surprised how far that takes you 👍
so i'm 15 going to grade 10 with an 11 handicap trying to get down to about 7 this year but do you think I should start contacting coaches in grade 10 because I know by grade 11 I will be about a 3 handicap my progression each year is getting better tremendously
I know im pretty late on this upload and i hope you reply. to me your someone that's gonee through the process and has great advice so I have some questions that I dont really have a answer to. So i am in my 3rd semester of my sophomore year and im just starting to write to coaches. During my freshman year i had a couple 72 -78 worst rounds as 83-85 during the summer. During the postseason for my school i got DQ from sectionals and i played an exceptional round. I'm gonna talk about it and say what I learned from it and i wonder if thats a good idea so during the summer going into my sophmore year I had 2-3 72's but a lot of 80's. During the postseason of high school i won my regional with a 72 and came in 3 with a 74 for sectioanls and lost by 2 to the kid who won my state tournament for the past two years. Should i reference how i almost beat the kid but caught a bad break or does that look bad? And finally I am presently getting ready to grind the summer into my junior year and i was wondering if shoot a lot of 72's if thats good enough for D1. I am currently ranked 14 in my state and i have not even played to my full potential. If get my handicap to scratch for my junior year would that be good enough? I really dont know im doing this all by myself. Thanks for reading this if you had the time. I appreciate it.
Also whatever you say i really want the truth. If its damn near impossible for me to make it imma still work hard with this.Also whatever you say i really want the truth. If its damn near impossible for me to make it imma still work hard with this.
How do u get a junior raking if u are outside of the uk
I’m Gonna enter 8 th grade soon and I’m single didget handicap what do you recommend me to do
Get you wedge yardages from 60-140 really dialed in and work on your shortgame (putting and chipping) 👍
What is the best way to not just make it to be a college golfer but play at the Division 1 level?
Go put in the work and work on all areas of your game! I know that's a really generalized answer but you have to be willing to put hours and hours and hours of work in 👍
i’m a 8th grader going into 9th next year i’m averaging like and 80 right now how can i practice to help me start getting lower through this season
How many people come from UK to American Colleges?
I’m in the top 70 in my country which is South Africa do u think it can be possible for me to get into a college just looking for some advice still moving up the ranks and I’m in my junior year or 11th grade
i’m a freshman and i’ve shot in the 70s 5 times and i’m only like 5 months in. is that a good sign?
🧢
How do you get ranked even?
Maximilian Mus play 4 or more Junior golf scoreboard ranked events in one year.
Is it possible to join college golf in second or third year? I am majoring computing science so my workload is very heavy but gets lighter in second and third year
Ah idk if I've heard of that but if college golf is something you want to do you could give it a shot!
Do one day tournaments help much, or try to do more 2-3 days?
More days the better
@@LukeKwonGolf thank you
is your sophomore summer the summer before or after sophomore year?
After, but if you can start sending emails earlier then earlier the better
@@LukeKwonGolf OK, thanks
How do u contact coach’s do u have to visit the colleges because I come from Scotland in the uk
Please get back to me
Leo Wright a bunch of coaches have emails on the college websites.
Look up the coach’s name and then go to the faculty staff page and type the name in. You have to be creative!
I would like to play college golf, I’m 24
I am a junior golfer going into my senior year and my handicap is a 3.9. How can I improve my scores. Unfortunately, I do not live up to that handicap in tournament play. Any suggestions?
Handicaps arent a good indicator of how good you are imo. Theyre not showing the average score, theyre showing your potential low rounds. Average score is a better indicator
Luke Kwon Golf. Ok Thanks.
You might not see this but I was wondering how to email coaches? I am a sophomore in high school and want to get my name out there
What should I say to get there attention?
Are you talking sophomore year of highschool
I’m a 8th grader who is around 5ft and i shoot around a 85 ish, i’ve broken 80 around 5 times is that good?
Hey Damon I’m in the same boat you are in dude. I’m a freshman shooting high 70’s to low 80’s. Last year I shot about how you did. I’m also very small around 5’ 2”. If I have any advice I would tell you is that once you hit that low 80s mark your score will be stuck there for a little while. It was very frustrating for me to not break 80 because I knew I was better than that so just have patients because as you start to hit your growth spurt and and get better your swing will change and it might seem like your going backwards but your not. Keep grinding you’ll make it!
Also. If I play a round at least twice a week and if I’m on the range 4 days a week for 4 hours am I practicing enough?
SamF-789 depends what you practice and how
Why don’t u use ur nice bag in the back ground?
It is lol
Can English golfers go to America to play and do u have to be good
Lol of course you have to be good but yeah I’ve seen plenty of international players playing in college 👍
What can you do off the course to get better?
Caiden B vlogs good question! Honestly not really a whole lot. Golf is a very specific movement and I’ve never believed anyone thats said that doing this or that off the course makes you better. But I will say that building explosive muscle fibers by doing squats, deadlifts, power cleans, box jumps will help. (Not the BS “golf workouts”). Also practicing meditation will help you get into the moment easier
Luke Kwon Golf Thank you very much for the reply; I've only been playing golf for just about a year and I'm on my high school team which is VERY GOOD and I'm trying to do whatever it takes to get in a match one day and maybe play college!
Caiden B vlogs Hey man dont think of them as very good. I’m sure they may be better than you right now but its nothing that you cant do. Put your head down and work harder than everyone else. When you play long enough, you’ll realize that the players you think are good arent doing anything spectacular. You can do the same thing 👊
Is starting golf in 10th grade to late
Nope, I know someone who started in 10th grade and he's now on the PGA Tour, but yes, it will take longer and you do have time against your side so you gotta really make good use of your time 👍
When you email a coach generally how long does it take them to reply to you? I’m currently a junior
It could depend on their schedule. Could take days or weeks or even a month. But if he hasn't responded in a month try emailing one more time, if nothing comes from that then I say that option is done. But you should be emailing ALOT of different coaches to improve your chances 👍
Luke Kwon Golf thanks so much man💪🏼I emailed about 40 the other day and can’t wait to start hearing back from some of them
i’m a freshman on varsity i am in the 90s, are my chances slim to go to college on a golf scholarship?

Evan Suddreth i shaved off 10 strokes off my game. why would my chances have been slim though?
First of all, how would I know if you had shaved off 10 strokes also I'm almost 14 and I shoot 70s from tips and I couldn't get on most college teams right now let's Aline someone shooting in the 90s
But if you work hard you will be able to play on all college teams
I believe in you
Hey Luke,
Given my family situation, it is very difficult for me to play in tournaments, especially those that are far away (and generally the ones that are far away are the ones that college coaches care about.) I am a rising sophomore in high school and am wondering how to increase recruiting interest in me given I won't be able to attend a lot of the premier junior golf events.
I was in the same boat man, dont worry. Where are you located?
Outside Boston, Massachusetts
Gotcha. Okay so you guys up north do have a little harder time because your winters are so long and i feel like your high school golf programs only run for either fall or the spring. But college coaches dont really care that much for high school events anyways, its just less tournament experience you get throughout the year. Go to AJGA.org and check out what tournaments are near you. I think there may be some in NY. Idk if thats considered too far for you, if it is, search for your state junior tour. Might be something like MJGT (Massachusetts junior golf tour) or something. The ajga tournaments are the tournaments that coaches really look at, so if you can find a way to play in those that are nearby, that’ll be huge. Even if its two or three a summer thats okay. Also try to qualify for the junior am/us amateur as well on usga.org. Let me know if you have any questions dude!
