nstar17-- my kid is a female senior so this is a question near and dear to me. Girls need to shoot in the low to mid 70s for division I chances. Boys need to shoot consistently in the low 70s, with some in the 60's and win some AJGA events, for a Division I school. Division II and III is still realistic if a kid shoots in the mid to high 70s. If you are in the 80s, not quite good enough, but hang in there. You must hit 250 to 500 balls a day and chip and putt for at least an hour, every day, between now and the end of your senior year. Nothing but fun!!

ya im goin to be a freshman this year and my scores are goni down if shot 84,86, and 89.One reason i had 90s was my driver was a womens club and had to much flex i could only hit like 200 yards. but just got a nike ignite driver and i hit 240-260yds.
In the last month I hav been working on putting a lot and i have kept tracked of my puts this month and i am averaging like 1.88 putts per hole. Before i was 3 putting a lot but i hav been working on putting like for and hour a day. Id like to lower it more but im getting there.

Hi Nstar. I wish you the best of luck in your dream. I would also suggest that one of the first things you do is look around your local area for a good teacher. You will want to talk to your parents about your goals, and ask for their help in finding someone to help. In this day and age, when the stakes are so high, most of the other kids who want to play are in some sort of program.

I play for a smaller, local University, and to make playing squad, you need to consistantly shoot in the mid 70's, lower 80's at times. Each team will vary depending on the size of the school.
