Young aspiring golfer Sam Walker wanted to follow the paths of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Anthony Kim, Paul Casey, Luke Donald, James Heath and our very own founder Chris Vidal, all professional golfers who competed in U.S College Golf on golf scholarships.
It’s a known fact that over 70% of the U.S PGA Tour have competed at the college level. Little wonder why college golf is considered the most advanced amateur circuit in the world with weekly qualifiers, travel and world class training facilities.
Sam is a member of the En
glish Golf Union Team with international
caps. He competes to a very high standard
and receives top training. But college golf
will give him an additional edge over his
peers back in the UK due to the fantastic
way competitions are setup in the USA. Most
College Golf teams have 10-15 athletes, who
are required to qualify for 5 spots for
weekly tournaments. Athletes will compete in
4 rounds of competitive golf against their
team mates. The top 5 golfers make the
coming weeks tournament and gives them the
opportunity to battle it out again against
other Colleges. This continued qualifying
process prepares athletes for the pro tours
when it comes to making the cut and the
ability to handle high pressure situations.

the individual honours at
the NJCAA National
Championships. This success
allowed Brad to transfer to

Open champion Graeme
McDowell have also
competed. Brad went on to
finish his degree at UAB and
competed in the NCAA
National Championships for
golf.
