JUNIOR GOLFERS MAKING A
PUSH TO BE NOTICED BY COLLEGE COACHES
The months of June and July
are big months for junior golfers who are pursuing their goal
of playing college golf. June 15 following a student-athlete’s
junior year in high school is the 1st time that a Division II
college coach can have in person, off-campus contact with a
prospective golfer. July 1 following a student-athlete’s
junior year in high school is the 1st time that a Division I
college coach can have in person, off-campus contact with a
prospective golfer. Junior golfers and their parents can have
written correspondence with college coaches the summer
following their sophomore year in high school. Junior golfers
can talk personally with coaches at any time during their
career as long as they are on the school’s campus.
Players in the St. Louis area
have been playing numerous tournaments on the local, regional
and national level in order to catch the attention of college
coaches. Scott Langley of Ballwin, MO has started his summer
well. Scott qualified for the Junior World Tournament in
California earlier this month. Scott shot 67, 77, 74 to place
in the top 10 of the AJGA event in Wichita and shot 71,79,75
to place 13th in the AJGA event in Long Grove, IL last week.
Scott is really playing well on the national level. He also
shot 69, 69 to place 3rd at Little Peoples this week. On the
local level, Tim Cochran of Des Peres, MO had a great week at
the St. Louis Boys District Championship. Tim shot 77 on day 1
at the Legends and then came back with a 67 on day 2 to win
the tournament by 8 shots. Kelsey Meyer of Chesterfield, MO
has also started the summer well. Kelsey qualified for the
U.S. Junior Girls Amateur this week. Kelsey had to win in a
playoff to secure a spot in the Championship. Kelsey also shot
74, 76 to finish 3rd at Little Peoples.
Monday, June 26, players from
throughout the United States will come to Glen Echo Country
Club in St. Louis for the U.S. Junior Boys Amateur Qualifier.
The U.S. Junior Amateur is one of the most prestigious junior
tournaments in the United States, and players will have to go
low to qualify for the event. Scott and Tim are definitely 2
of the favorites going into this qualifier next week.
