GOLFWEEK STAFFIn order to bring together talented junior golfers with college coaches throughout the country, the first ever College Golf Combines will be held this summer.
The East Combine will take place July 27-29 at Tradition National Golf Club in Hardeeville, South Carolina and the West Combine will take place Aug. 3-5 at East Valley Golf Club in Beaumont, Calif.
The combines are open to 2009 and 2010 recruits.
Each day, there will be skills assessment – putting, chipping, bunker and fairway play – as well as 18 holes of play. Scores will be given for certain shots on Day 1, and for 18-hole totals on Day 2.
“The combines will provide recruits an excellent opportunity to perform in front of coaches at a critical time in the recruiting process,” said event organizer Chris Gibbs. “In addition, coaches with limited recruiting budgets will have the opportunity to evaluate recruits hitting the same shots side by side.”
Registration for the combines begins April 8 at
www.collegegolfcombines.com. Coaches may also register online and will be provided player information binders, lunch each day and a barbecue Monday evening.
