Your scoring average opens the door, but coaches evaluate far more than a number.

Repeatable Fundamentals

Coaches want to see a swing that holds up under pressure — consistent setup, tempo, and contact across face-on and down-the-line angles.

Short Game & Course Management

Putting, chipping, and smart decision-making often separate similar players. Show these clearly in your evaluation videos.

The Mental Game

Composure after a bad hole tells a coach how you'll handle a college schedule. Demonstrate resilience, not just highlights.
