How College Golf Coaches Actually Find Recruits
No source we read shows how any one coach finds players, so start with what is documented. The NCAA's recruiting page says coaches initiate most recruiting conversations and can confirm whether a student has registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center. The AJGA's page for college coaches describes a search tool that shows head coaches a member's results, academics and upcoming schedule. What a player controls is whether a coach who looks can verify them. This guide is a self-audit for that: the program's own questionnaire, a results record a coach can check, a clear profile and the Eligibility Center steps.
