Golf Scholarships For Girls

Golf scholarships for girls are a blessing for many families trying to save money on college tuition. Fortunately these athletic scholarships exist and are a great find for the parents as well as the children that get to enjoy the financial benefits.

There are actually numerous reasons to go after golf scholarships for girls besides the obvious monetary boost. I'll quickly list a few of those reasons and then go into greater detail about them. If you're simply looking for direct information on how to get in contact with female college golf coaches, looking to understand what score does a girl need to shoot to get a girls golf scholarship or just have general questions like what's the best advice for a girl to improve her golf score all of those questions can be answered in other posts on this blog.

Reasons to be on a college golf team:

1. Scholarship money. This one is obvious but I had to list it first because it's the first thing on most of my readers minds. Dollars pay the bills and although college athletes are amateurs in some since they are getting paid to play their sports in the form of scholarship money that often can equate to saving tens of thousands of dollars a year, and that's before factoring in all the interest that would be paid on student loans over many, many years.
2. Make friends. It's been my experience that the young ladies on college golf teams are generally exceptional women with strong backgrounds. Think about it, these are the sorts of girls that (a) want to go to college, (b) had access to golf growing up, and (c) are strong women with self-confidence as a result in excelling in their sport to the point of being able to play it in college.
3. Future career boost. Lots of businesses rely on relationships and relationship building. A lot of this relationship building is done on the golf course. In the old days it was mostly men, but now women are taking over. Think about the difference from a competitive business standpoint to be a woman who can beat or at least hang with the executive men, or to be the gal that's embarrassing herself on the golf course or missing out on networking opportunities because she's too shy to go out there and play with the boys. Would you rather be the woman that all the executives want on their scramble team or the person relegated to just driving the cart.
4. Job interview ammunition. With so many resumes out there it's hard to stand out. One of the best ways to do so when applying for jobs is to (a) have something that the other applicants don't have on their resumes that catches the interviewers attention and (b) be into the same things as the person hand picking candidates and doing the interviewing. Being a college golf team is an excellent way to nail down points (a) and (b). As a former college athlete myself I can't tell you how many interviews I've been on that where driven conversationally by my experience playing sports in college. Employers doing the hiring like to know that they're getting well rounded people who even more importantly can handle multiple tasks (like school and sports in college), are team players, and can perform under pressure.
