Q- Can I receive a
scholarship to play golf?
A- Absolutely. SAU is very
pleased to offer scholarships to qualified women to play golf. The
amount of the award varies based on playing ability and the number
of scholarships we currently are giving out. For more information
about scholarships contact
Coach Orfitelli.
Q- Does a player have to
pay for anything?
A- There are some incidental costs to being a member of the team but
for the most part SAU covers all the costs of practice, traveling,
shirts and bags. Each player is expected to have clubs, balls and
the like. The program can assist players in securing equipment.
Q- Where does SAU
practice and play?
A- We are very fortunate to practice and play at Emeis GC in
Davenport, IA. Emeis has a grass driving range, practice green for
short game, and an additional putting green. The golf program
covers all costs associated with practicing and playing. Emeis is
also located about 5 minutes from campus making getting to practice
quite convenient.
Q- How many people are
on the team?
A- It depends on the
strength of the individuals. The team is usually between 12-15
players. We have both a varsity and JV team, depending on the
number of golfers each season.
Q- How does one join the team and how do you determine who makes
the team?
A- Anyone is allowed to
come for golf tryouts which occur the week before school begins in
late August. After four practice or qualifying rounds we decide who
makes the team based on how well you played and your attitude. Our
goal is to keep as many as players as possible who can benefit from
being on the team.
Q- How good is the team?
A- Very good. We consistently qualify for NAIA Nationals and
have won the conference the past five years. |
