College Golf Recruiting Email Template (Plus Parent Do's and Don'ts)
One of the biggest recruiting mistakes is overthinking the first email. Coaches want something simple: who you are, what level you are at, what your grades look like, and where they can watch you play.
What to Include (Coach-Friendly)
- Name and grad year
- Austin, TX location
- GPA (and test plan if available)
- Scoring average + best recent finishes
- Upcoming schedule
- Recruiting video link
What Not to Do
- Long paragraphs
- Excuses for bad rounds
- Parents writing as "we"
- Hype language that does not match results

What should a college golf recruiting email include?
Keep it short. Include your name, graduation year, location (Austin, TX), GPA, scoring average, best recent finishes, upcoming tournament schedule, and a link to your recruiting video. Let coaches evaluate quickly.
Should parents write the recruiting email for their golfer?
No. Coaches expect to hear from the student-athlete directly. Parents can help organize information and proofread, but the email should come from the golfer and use 'I' not 'we.'
