What is important to get a scholarship?
To be able to receive a large scholarship you of course need to be a good golf player. Here your handicap means a lot.
College coaches are often looking for players with a strong technical standpoint. However it is important to understand that the amount you can receive varies depending on the university and their current golf program. There are colleges at elite level with high athletic requirements but also colleges at a lower level with more rounded requirements for the second and third tier golf players.
On top of that, some coaches might prioritize precision, consistency, driving ability or something else.
Apart from your golfing abilities, your academic level will also be relevant. Not only for the amount of possibilities you have but also for the amount the final scholarship will be able to cover. Many colleges put a lot of weight on the academic abilities of their athletes and expect them to perform well in classes.
