Additionally, FCGA maintains each player's tournament record and provides recommendations on academics, swing coaches, fitness and nutrition. Members of the FCGA Tournament Players Program are assured a position in the national ranking systems and are able to gain the experience and exposure that college golf coaches seek in a recruit.
The College Golf Scholarship Program, offers academic and athletic counseling for junior golfers and their families.

We greatly appreciate all of the personal mentoring that you offered our family about junior golf tournaments, Whitney's practice schedule, building relationships with college coaches, and scholarship opportunities. Whitney is very excited about her opportunity to receive an education and play college golf at Florida State. We will highly recommend the FCGA to any family that has a son or daughter who has the desire to play golf at the college level and welcome the opportunity to share our experiences and thoughts with them."

I am confident that without your help, Chris would have not received a golf scholarship. We are very grateful for your help, and would highly recommend FCGA to anyone with a potential college golfer."
