These experiences have enriched my understanding of the game and allowed me to provide extremely valuable advice to the students I mentor. Within these pages, the high-school golfer will find advice and guidance specific to their stage of life and to their dream of a college experience that includes competitive golf. For the adults who read this book, there are insights and observations that you are sure to need as you continue raising an educated and well-adjusted young golfer. I sincerely hope that what you read here will serve as a valuable reference in your journey.
