I doubt that a 2 to 4 handicap would get any scholarship money. Most of the kids who get scholarships for golf play lots of tournaments in summers here and are pretty well known by college coaches. All the ones I know who have gotten scholarships lately have been in +1, +2 or better. Those kids are really, really strong players.

Scratch to 2 may be able to get on at a small school with no athletic scholarship money but may make it easier to get some money from other sources.

This is what I had thought also, I suppose it was a bit silly to get excited, allways seemed a bit to good to be true..
