College Golf Opportunities
http://ijga.com/college-golf-opportunities/ | When you begin to explore playing golf at the next level, it is important to find the college that is the perfect fit for you. There are almost 2,000 collegiate golf programs in the United States across the NCAA’s three divisions, the NAIA, and the NJCAA, each organization with a different set of requirements in terms of academics and playing ability. There are many factors that go into choosing the right college, aside from its golfing reputation. It is necessary to research different schools that interest you to learn about each campus’ environment, as well as what they have to offer students academically and athletically.

The Importance of A Fitness Regimen For Junior Golfers
http://www.ijga.com/news-and-blog/importance-fitness-regimen-junior-golfers/ | Professional golfers make hitting a long drive look easy. However, the split second that it takes to hit a golf ball with just the right velocity and angle is the result of hours of training. It takes strength, control, and a foundation of physical fitness to send the ball soaring down the fairway. Physical fitness also improves confidence and self-esteem – important factors for achievement both on and off of the golf course.

Golf Etiquette for Junior Golfers
http://ijga.com/golf-etiquette-for-junior-golfers
Part of the process of improving your golf game as a junior golfer is learning the customs and traditions of the sport. Etiquette out on the course, especially when playing tournaments, is an essential part of golf and is almost as old as the game itself. Understanding the dress code, how to behave on the course, and courtesies to show other golfers will help you develop a good relationship with golfers and a reputation for yourself.
Sweatpants and jeans are not allowed on most courses. In fact, it is most appropriate to wear a collared shirt (tucked in for men), along with dress or golf slacks or shorts. Be sure to refrain from running, since it is distracting to other players, and do not yell unless you are yelling “fore” to warn of an errant shot. In an effort to keep up a good pace of play, put a limit on time between club selection and shot, as well as searching for lost balls.
