The college golf transfer portal is changing recruiting. Here’s what junior golfers and parents need to know. ⛳

Your junior isn’t only competing with other juniors anymore. They’re competing with college players who’ve already played college golf.

Here’s why it matters:

🔹 D1 programs that opted into the new NCAA rules are capped at 9 roster spots, down from 10–12
🔹 That means fewer openings for incoming freshmen
🔹 Coaches often check the portal first
🔹 A transfer has college scores and proven results. A recruit has potential.

So what can your junior do?

✅ Start the recruiting process earlier
✅ Get results in front of coaches: rankings, scoring average, tournament fields
✅ Take academics seriously, since many programs review transcripts first
✅ Play strong, tracked events and send updates after strong finishes
✅ Film a 3–5 minute on-course video and keep a one-page resume ready
✅ Widen the search: D2, D3, NAIA and junior college

And don’t panic. There are nearly 2,000 college golf programs across NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA. The right fit isn’t always a Division I school.

Gabby started today making heel contact.
We cleaned up her grip, then didn’t give her a single swing thought. Just a target and a task.

1️⃣ Club between the sticks, no ball
2️⃣ Foam ball, don’t touch the sticks
3️⃣ Real ball, sticks stay
4️⃣ Real ball, no sticks

3 in a row to move on.

Younger juniors learn best when their focus is outside the body. Give them a target, not a swing thought.

How to make a golf swing change in 10 minutes a day, without hitting a single ball.

Most golfers try to fix their swing at the driving range. But at the range you’re trying to do two things at once:

1️⃣ Change how your body moves (internal focus)
2️⃣ Hit a good golf shot (external focus)

Those two goals compete for your attention. The shot goes right, you chase the ball flight, and the movement you were trying to learn is gone.

Take the golf ball away. Here’s a 10-minute home session I’d use:

⏱ 2 min: slow-motion rehearsals of the new movement
⏱ 3 min: pause at key positions and check them
⏱ 3 min: blend the positions into one continuous swing
⏱ 2 min: gradually add speed while keeping the movement

Use a mirror or video to make sure you’re doing what you intend.

Then use the range for performance: change targets, vary clubs and trajectories, and run your full pre-shot routine.

At home, you build the movement. At the range, you build the skill. On the course, you play golf.

💾 Save this for your next swing change.
📩 Send it to a golfer stuck in the swing-fix loop.

One week until States. Here’s how to prepare for a junior golf tournament without overthinking your swing. ⛳

Your focus should change as the week goes on:

📍 7–5 days out: technical maintenance. Check your key patterns, use familiar drills, keep changes small.
📍 4–3 days out: shift to performance. Randomize clubs and targets, play scoring games, use your full pre-shot routine.
📍 2 days out: prepare your mind. Skip the score goal and pick three you can control: commitment, acceptance and patience.
📍 1 day out: think targets, not technique. Learn the safe landing areas and keep practice light.
📍 Tournament day: see it, commit, execute.

The closer you get to a state championship, the less you should think about your swing.

💾 Save this for tournament week.
📩 Send it to a teammate heading to States.
