College coaches don't care what you do in high school district tournaments, they want to see what you do against tough competition on tough golf courses. The boys play from around 6300-6500 yards in high school district matches and that isn't long enough for them to see how they will play in college which is from the tips at around 6800 yards and up.

If you shoot 66-71 as a 17 year old girl with no weight training, dietician, or other resources big colleges have, I don’t think backing her up a few yards is gonna make her skill set less lol. This isn’t a college male playing the woman Tees. State is Next Tuesday which will be a more difficult course, I’ll give an update then.

BTW she started the round Birdie, Birdie, Bogey, Birdie.

I played in college and this is spot on.

Id also estimate 80% of college tournaments were over 7000 yards.

It was a massive difference.
