What is a College Golf Seminar? A panel of college coaches will be at the
Midwest Golf House in Lemont, IL, to talk about what they are looking for while they
are recruiting, how to prepare for college academically and more.
The IJGA’s College Golf Seminar is a great
opportunity to hear a number of different
perspectives about college golf! The 2018
seminar will take place on January 20.
This event will be similar to the College Golf
Seminar that was held in 2016, so if you had
attended in 2016, this could be repetitive
information for you. However, we do not
want to discourage anyone from attending,
we just want to make it clear that a lot of the
information shared will be similar. With that
being said one coach may have a different
opinion than another or the presentations
might be slightly different each year.

Each year this seminar is held, the panel of
college coaches and speakers is different. In
the past we have had various NCAA and NAIA

Men’s Head Coach Michael Burcin, Northern
Illinois Women’s Head Coach Kim Kester,
Illinois Wesleyan University Women’s Head
Coach Patrick Freeman, and University of St.
Francis Men’s Head Coach Paul Downey.
The goal of the College Golf Seminar is to
educate as many junior golfers and their
parents as possible on the various steps of
the recruitment process. The day is broken
up into different sessions to help break down
