I looked at some of the "Golf Academies" for fun and wow, that is some serious $$$. We have a school here where a few years ago the entire baseball team switched to golf and has dominated HS golf ever since. It has more to do with the efforts of the local course than the school though.

Great thing about golf is that you don't need a strong HS program as a Junior. There is as much, if not more, golf outside of school than in.

I do get jealous when I see the programs in Southern CA where the weather is good and there is a big population. My son has been playing since he was 3, he is now seven and is still all alone in his age bracket.

He played as a 6 year old on the middle school team last year which riled up some parents whose kids didn't make the team. School Board is deciding what to do for this year.
