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.
I’m 13 going into 8th grade my coach is helping a lot but I need to learn how to get myself out there and these videos are very helpful thank you for making these
Your a good dude Luke, your a straight shooter , hope everything works out for you, you got me as a fan!
Appreciate that my man! Thanks for your support 👊👍
Thanks for sharing 😊
Seen you grow bro, love the videos. Just graduated high school and going into a Canadian University yikes I guess D1 is impossible now
Theres a chance you could transfer! Idk how that process works tho, from a college outside the country
I’m 12 and I shoot mid 70s but I’m at the course 7days a week for 5-6 hours everyday
Great Channel
Appreciate that quinn! 👊
I have a feeling you’re Chanel is going to blow up like Andrew Jenson’s channel.
Man I sure hope so!
Andrew Jensen’s the man. Been watching him since under 50 subs.
Derek Chavez Andrew Jensen is awesome his videos are great
Hey Luke! Because of your Awesome, motivational golf videos, you got one more subscriber! Love what you do man!
But I was gonna say that I started playing golf in the summer of my junior year. But do you think it would be too late to start playing D2 golf at my local college? Any good tips to get there? Thanks so much
Thanks trent! Never going to discourage someone’s dreams, you can definitely get recruited for a d2 school. But youre behind the 8ball a bit. If you’d like I can personally coach you but other than that its pretty hard to give you advice without seeing your swing and figuring out whats going on in your game
hi luke! i am a women's golfer and after checking out the roster of my dream college, i was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to reach out to a player/former player on social media of what their recruiting process for the university was and how they landed a spot on the team? let me know if you can and thanks!
I tried to bridge the gap between good and great. In a similar way my parents tell me to golf less yet I put in 170 rounds and practice during MN's short season. All that yet I've barely improved, still ranked 2000s on JGS. I'm just taking anger out
Why’d your parents tell you to golf less? Sounds like youre putting in the work you just need a better sense of direction with your work
Luke Kwon Golf They just say you might want to take a break sometime instead of living at the golf course
Taking breaks definitely have their place but when youre a junior golfer raw hard work will take you a long ways. Go out there and outwork everybody 👍
Hey, right now I just returned from a 2 year church mission where I wasn't able to play in any tournaments and only go to the range once a week. Right now I'm talking to couple of small college coaches and creating my resume for them. With what's going on with the virus and everything, how do you suggest I give them scores they want to see that reflects how I play now instead of 3 years ago?
do a day in the life
Hey Luke! I’m a huge Oklahoma fan. Where did you go freshman year??? My brother is going to St.Edwards to play golf this coming year.
I went to St. Eds my first year! Pretty solid place, Austins got alot of good golf
Hi im a junior in high school do you have to play in junior tournaments to play on a d2 or d3 college team
Hey Luke great video! I am from NJ, I'm an 8 handicap, but I've only been playing for 2 years (I'm a sophomore) and I'm not shooting for a top 10 school or anything, just to go d1, and I'm gonna grind my ass off, I'm gonna be playing in AJGA's and HJGT's soon, any advice?
Where ya at now?
When the ou coach saw u was it an ajga tournament or something else?
Hey Luke I’m in my sophomore summer right now and last season I shot in the 70s only a handful of times do I have any kind of shot at going d1?
Yes, youre a little bit behind pace but not by much! Go work your ass off this summer, get some good results. Focus on working on your chipping/pitching, putting and especially your wedge game 👍
Is there an age limit to play college golf? Would there be opportunity for someone like myself, coming out of the military with a dream? Would love to see a breakdown video on all that if possible.
Hi mate, if you didnt find out there is no age limit! As long as you can spend the 4 years doing your degree you can play! hope this helps
man I need Help
Hey Luke! I’m a sophomore from Pennsylvania. It is my first year golfing and I shoot high 40s on 9 holes. Do you think there is any chance I will be able to golf in college?
Little late but how did everything turn up I’m a freshman in Florida doing low 40’s low 80’s and 70’s for total
What’s the diffrince between d1 and d2
The top 20/30 guys in D2 are D1 caliber golfers. The money backing in the D2 programs is also smaller
Hello Luke, I’m going to be a sophomore and shoot high in the 70’s. I do not play competitive golf, except for playing for my high school. I am looking to play tournaments so what programs to you think I should join so I can play tournaments. Thanks.
AJGA Tournaments will get you exposure to college coaches. Your state should also run some junior tournaments run by your state’s golf association 👍
Luke Kwon Golf thanks so much, love your videos
I’m in my junior summer and have a few rounds in the 60’s but colleges don’t seem interested, I’ve emailed around 30 schools and have received little to no interest and not sure what to do
Hmm, sounds like a lot of those schools you contacted have their rosters full for this next year. Try reaching out to them one more time just to make sure. But you should start looking at maybe looking for some lower ranked D1 schools or a D2 school. I played in a D2 school my first year in college and transferred up so theres no reason why you can't do the same. Good luck bro 👊
Calling them instead is way better . They get hundreds of emails a day . Calling is very few
Is it okay if I started a few months ago and I’m 12 but I’m shooting 15 over
You have a few years to work so dont stop grinding .
Hey I'm a freshman in high school and I'm a scratch golfer what's your advice on how I can play d1 golf
Nice dude! I laid out a good bit on these two college golf videos but you want to start contacting coaches right now and show them your resume/swing/upcoming schedule. Email the coaches at every college you may be interested in. And sign up for AJGA tournaments and/or your state run junior golf organization 👍
Do you think coaches will notice me if I start to win a lot of junior tournaments
Lol yes. Winning takes care of everything.
Jake Lamonica Like Luke said in the previous video, EMAIL THE COACHES! A lot of them are too busy to go looking for players that aren’t golf prodigies so if you email them it will make the process a lot less stressful. I was in your shoes in high school, playing scratch golf but not getting any attention. As soon as I emailed the coaches I was interested in I got a lot of responses back and a few scholarship offers.
Also, if you don’t play in the ajna tour how about like the pga mid adlantic do coaches also look for that or any other tournaments I play?
You need to go contact the coaches, your chances of them reaching out to you because they saw you in a tournament leaderboard is really slim. I don't know the pga mid atlantic but I'm sure it can help supplement your resume, but AJGA is what coaches care about the most 👍
what where you ranked in your age when you going to get into college??
Idk about what it was going into college but when I was getting recruited I was around 350-400 on most rankings 👍
@@LukeKwonGolf in the us?
Anton Manuel Gonzalez Sundewall yes in the US
Which college did you play for before you transferred to OU?
St edwards university in Austin TX 👍
Luke Kwon Golf how was your experience playing at st edwards university differ from playing at OU?
The budget difference between the two is night and day different. The competition is much deeper as well but the top 50 guys in D2 golf are still really solid players
Just broke my middle finger out for 3 weeks 😩
Get healed up and then get back after it! 👍
Play good- play tourneys- get noticed....
Good golf solves everything!
