Learning to be independent is one of the most important factors that college coaches say a
junior golfer needs to work on to transition into college golf. You can begin working on
this at any age, but some may be difficult until you are able to drive yourself or better
understand what you need to do in order to complete the task.
Below is a list of different tasks that will help you learn to be more independent as a student, person, and golfer.
Please check with your parents before starting any of these tasks.
  • Do your own laundry
  • Sign up for a tournament
  • Pack for a tournament
  • Schedule your own tee time/lesson
  • Call a college coach
  • Clean your golf clubs
  • Buy groceries or create a list

  • Pack your own lunch/snacks

  • Clean the house
