I never went for an interview. If you are good enough, the opportunities will come. I decided against pursuing a career in golf yet so i can solely focus on completing my schooling.

I am 16, playing off 1.4

Rocket, what handicap are you? What course? Who are you going to for the interview?

I had a golf scholarship to college, but it was in my hometown and I was a well known player when I was young. I didn't need to advertise myself, they came to me. Back then, (late 60's, early 70's), it was done that way. Golf has become a much bigger sport and business these days and you almost have to sell yourself to the schools now.

There was a lengthy article in a recent golf magazine... which one escapes me, but either Golf Digest or Golf Magazine. The article explained a lot of things you should do to make the college coaches notice you.

It was Golf Digest. I have it sitting right here. It was the September '07 one.
