I think the best thing you can do is contact the coach of the schools you are interested in. Coaches like to hear from players, and a phone call to a head coach is a big way to show you are serious. I am assuming you are a senior. If that is the case then they can call you back. If you are not then you need to leave a message stating when you will be calling back. If you cannot reach a coach via phone at least send an email. This, in my opinion is your best bet that way you can explain directly to the coach what you are stating above. I would also suggest you schedule a visit and meet face to face with the coach. Respond to the questionnaire with the truth, your best tournament scores from high school golf. My son plays college golf so I am pretty familiar with how it all works… There is a HUGE difference though between high school and college regardless of how competitive you high school league is and you will have to work a bit harder to sell yourself without the extra tournament experience most players come in with. Feel free to private message me if you want some great links to some websites that can be of help for golf specific recruiting.
