Dean Frischknecht, PING American College Golf Guide
  Mr. Frischknecht spoke primarily about the research that went into creating the PING American College Golf Guide, a comprehensive breakdown of NCAA college golf. Dean broke down the number of scholarships that are available to both male and female golfers in all divisions of the NCAA. He discussed what prospective college golfers should be prepared for when looking at levels of NCAA golf. Dean stressed how junior golfers need to personalize their cover letters and resumes when they send those to prospective schools and coaches. He emphasized what college coaches are looking for from their student/athletes and the best ways to get coaches attention. Dean used his scoring conversion software to show what prospective junior golfers would shot in college events based on their average score.
