AJGA and Beyond

I was talking to a junior golf dad at a tournament a few weeks ago, and he explained to me how a junior golfer needs to build a golf resume' from the age of 14 on up, if they have any hopes of landing a golf scholarship to a Division 1 or 2 school. The days of being some kind of unknown, secret, super talent and introducing yourself to the golf coach at Georgia Tech or Wake Forest at the age of 17 are gone, he said. He went on to say that they won't even be able to get in an AJGA (perhaps the most prominent golf scholarship fast track tour) tournament in their junior and senior year unless they've built a resume' of tournament participation and achievement earlier on. Anybody have any thoughts on this one?
