Junior golfers looking to play college golf must ask themselves a plethora of questions. Everything from the colleges to apply for, the SAT and/or ACT test questions, the programs of study, and the scholarship possibilities are asked to ensure that the student knows what they are getting into and why they are proceeding. Without the answers to these questions, the uncertainty is able to sink the dreams of the student golfer.

The first thing to do is ensure that you have a solid Resume. A resume for this purpose is very similar to any standard Resume that you will put together in your professional career, whether it's playing golf or running a business. Make sure that all the Essential information is there, name, address, etc. You will want to make sure that your academic strengths are highlighted and that your grades are strong. Your GPA will not only matter in the minimum GPA to apply to a college, but many coaches look at academic history to ensure the overall quality of a player. It is also important to note your SAT and/or ACT scores. Again, you will need to achieve certain scores in order to even be considered for admission to that High School.

Once you have the basics down, it's now time to focus on the bulk of the Resume. You will want to list all of the events you have played in. Tournaments that are played outside of the High School arena are of high importance. Coaches want to see scores in tournaments to see the level of competitive play. If you have been playing for a long period of time, it's a good idea to break down the tournament play and scores by year. This not only shows the length of time that you have been playing, it shows the college your playing ability in tournaments, and it also shows improvement in your game over the years. You will want to make sure to include the name of the event, the number of players in the competition, what place you finished the competition in, if there was unusual weather at the event and where the event took place.

As technology advances, so does the ability to send a video of yourself as you prepare your resume for college golf. Showing your swings and various shots from a variety of angles is a great way to show your stuff to the people that you are trying to impress. Make sure that you record yourself from different angles so that they can get a clear indication of the type of golfer you are and be sure to personalize your application. Try emailing this information, as it can save you precious time and can get your application process rolling a lot quicker than conventional methods.

There are a lot of services on the internet that can help give you advice on your Resume, scholarship applications, college applications, and any other form of application. Use these sites to get the most out of the process and discern the best way to apply for what you hope to work with. Make sure, too, that you have all of the information you need and that you are prepared for the process. Making a good first impression is Essential when you are applying for college, so make sure that you check with the High School staff as to what information the registrar will need to see.
