Golf and Academic Resume


Why have a Golf and Academic Resume?

Being recruited to play college golf is all about visibility. The more noticed you are, the more name recognition you have, the higher the chances you will have of being recruited to play in college. Having a resume here on the scoreboard will:

  • Enable coaches to follow your play automatically
  • Have a coach see your name repeatedly as they receive scores from your tournament play
  • Provide your contact info
  • Highlight your name in green in the rankings and results
  • Share more about you that just scores, such as a brief academic review
  • Give you a chance to hear from schools you might have not thought of

What coaches and experts are saying

"As I look at a ranking list for part of my research, a group of 10 or 20 players ranked together are basically the same talent, so I will always look at the player with a resume first. It's just easier for me. I have no idea why junior players and their families don't realize that."
- D-I Women's Golf Coach

"Start by knowing every junior player needs to prepare a golf and academic resume and send it early in the process of contacting a school. A resume also presents a polished image to a coach more than just an email."
- John Brooks - Red Numbers Golf (Going To College - Junior Golf Scoreboard)

"Junior Golf Scoreboard the most useful recruiting site I've ever used. I log into the Scoreboard at least a dozen times daily, more than Google. The reliable data posted on Junior Golf Scoreboard saves me hundreds of recruiting hours each year. Results are posted quickly and rankings are accurate to the talent we see on the course."
- D-I Golf Coach

"JGSB is an extremely valuable tool to my recruiting. It allows me to see and track every multi-day junior event in the country. It is also very helpful when the players have an up-to-date academic resume on the site. This allows me to get an idea if they will be a great fit as a potential student athlete!"
- D-III Golf Coach

"Recruiting can be a challenge especially when it comes to following junior golf and trying to identify the best players. For years we have relied on the Junior Golf Scoreboard as a recruiting tool. We use their Coaches Corner options virtually every week to find and follow potential recruits. The Junior Golf Scoreboard is our number one resource for tracking junior golf."
- D-I Golf Coach

Why should I post my resume here especially if I'm just starting high school?

There are several reasons. They include:

  • It is important as early as possible to get college coaches to ask "Where have I seen that name before?" You want name recognition and since your name will be highlighted and linked to your resume in the rankings and all of your results here on the Scoreboard, you'll be increasing the chances this will happen.
  • The Junior Golf Scoreboard is the most visited website by college coaches and being recruited is all about visibility and name recognition
  • A resume gives a coach the opportunity to know more about you than just your golf experience
  • A resume conveys a confident and professional appearance to a coach and is more impressive than just an email or phone call

No. You will be ranked automatically when we have four tournaments for you. A resume is not required to be ranked.

Does the Junior Golf Scoreboard automatically post scores or any other information to my resume?

Yes that is an option you can choose to help keep your resume more up to date.

Do I have to call you to change my resume?

No. You have access to it 24 hours a day.

What's the best way to use my resume?

The best thing you can do is make sure the coaches at the schools you're interested in know you have a resume. That way they can add you to their "Recruit Watchlist" and track your progress automatically even if you're still a freshman or sophomore.
