| Cheers Bravo - yeah as you say a full/partial scholarship certainly removes the financial burden. If I remember correctly McDowell broke most of the scoring stats set by Woods while at Birmingham.
What really interests me is the degree of golf instruction these guys get at college - needless to say a scratch golfer playing everyday will attain a certain level in improvement, but I'm wondering if there's a certain "something" that's thought/instilled into these guys to take them to the next level or is it a case of rounding up a creditable team to represent your college for a 4/5 year period and renew the cycle as they graduate.
What happens if their academic grades decline ? are you bagged up and shipped out to the detriment of the golf team, or is there an alternative avenue they can take ? .... because ostensibly you're there to graduate with some kind of degree. It's just I imagine for sake of argument you had the leading quarter back in college football and he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box... there is very little likelihood of him being axed
