I really hope many of you had the chance to watch the NCAA Championships this week, especially with the final matches coming down to two NC teams, each of which had a former PKBGT standout playing (against each other). And for those that were at the PKB Invitational last fall you had the chance to hear Emilia speak so it was a lot of fun seeing her compete.

Also, if you haven’t had a chance to listen to my first Tap In To College Golf podcast I was fortunate enough to have Wake Forest Head Coach Kim Lewellen join me. You can listen to that episode HERE.

As far as watching the NCAAs, I hope you had the chance to watch and see what it’s like to compete at that level in college golf. While that is very exciting, that may not be the route you are looking to take which is perfectly fine. As you saw from watching it is very intense and competitive at that level, but it is always extremely rewarding and exciting.

Learning to find the right fit for you is what matters. The chance to watch NCAAs on TV is a great glimpse into college golf but also keep in mind, you are only seeing a small snippet of what college golf is all about. These girls have been working non-stop both in the classroom and on the course since arriving on campus back in the fall. So while seeing Duke and Wake Forest go head to head in a thrilling match might get you excited for college golf, don’t forget to really consider where your priorities and commitment match up when choosing your own path.
