The Golf Slice

A lot of high school golfers are probably interested in pursuing the game competitively in college. Unfortunately, there aren’t many resources available online today to help connect amateur athletes with college coaches or experts that can help them take the next step with college recruiting.

Thankfully there’s a new site called SportsGist.com that can help high school golfers connect with like-minded individuals that are interested in our favorite sport. Members of SportsGist can sign up to interact with other golfers or get involved with the site’s college recruiting video features to help them get their names out there to college coaches and programs throughout the country. There are also interviews and podcasts with college coaches from a variety of sports that offer you tips and advice on improving your game and your chances of receiving a scholarship.

Aside from its abilities to connect amatuer athletes of all sports, SportsGist also offers some other exciting features for sports fans. They offer high school sports live on their site for anyone who’s got time to check out some sports action. This is a great way to keep up on the high school sports scene in areas you aren’t familiar with. It’s also a great way to keep track on highly touted high school recruits in many different sports, aside from just golf.

I’m sure some of you out there think you’re good enough at the game of golf to turn professional and start your own golf career. If you’re thinking about going pro, or just interested in finding a new job in the golf industry, you might want to check into the program the San Diego Golf Academy has to offer for aspiring golf professionals.

There are a lot of golf schools around the United States but the San Diego Golf Academy is certainly one of the best.
