Coach Beatty says:
"OK, let's say that you and your parents have read this information and being away from home, being at a small school, practicing at a course that's not Augusta National, spending from $3,000-$10,000 per year for school, and playing for someone who expects you go to school, study, and play golf virtually every day is OK with you - what should you do? It's simple.
1) Reply to the recruiting questionnaire.
2) Send me a video of your full swing, pitching, chipping, and putting strokes.
3) Call me.
4) Make sure you've taken your SAT or ACT tests.
5) Register with the NCAA Clearinghouse and send them your final high school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores.
If you haven't discovered it yet, the recruiting process is about 80% athlete and 20% coach. You found WNMU and this page, so you are on the right track. Just like life, if you can't market yourself and be pro-active with where life takes you, you will be disappointed more than likely.
Unfortunately, golf budgets don't really allow for much real recruiting/scouting etc. If you are going to be a player for this team, you must have demonstrated that you are a good student first and have shot impressive tournament scores.
The ball is in your court ... isn't your dream of college golf worth a few emails and a telephone call or two? You know... Hey Coach... look at me! ... I'm good!
I can't tell you that I'm going to offer you a scholarship, but I will tell you this: If you are from New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, or El Paso, Texas, you LOVE golf, you play for yourself and not your parents, and with all your heart you WANT to be here, I'll find a way for you to be on the team.
If you aren't from any of those areas, then you are going to have to be a great student and/or an exceptional player. If not, you may have to work your way into a scholarship, but if you're playing in tournaments, going to class, and doing all the other things we do without too much whining and complaining, we will eventually get you some money."
