MARIETTA, Ga.

College Day presented by Atlanta Junior Golf will feature some of the most knowledgeable golf coaches and administrators around the Peach State in a panel-style forum, discussing the necessary steps teenagers interested in playing intercollegiate golf will need to know in order to advance their careers beyond the junior golf ranks. This year’s guest speakers will include University of Georgia Men’s Head Coach Chris Haack, Georgia State University Women’s Head Coach Cathy Mant, and Oglethorpe University Men’s Head Coach Jim Owen, uncovering various topics such as recruiting, building a resume and video, as well as the differences between the NCAA and its divisions, and the NAIA.

"We are fortunate to have some of the best college golf coaches in the country present to Atlanta area juniors an idea of what they should be looking for and thinking about as they go through this process."
