There are a number of steps that parents need to take to earn a golf scholarship to Stanford. The academic preparation starts early with a great deal of reading and learning. A good student is required for the academic requirements of Stanford, so an early start is necessary for that to be accomplished. Parents will need to start the child with golf at an early age and get them motivated to play the game. Certainly going a country club will be a requirement in order to give the child the maximum time to learn the game. Parents will also make sure there is plenty of competition for the child. Playing in golf tournaments is a prerequisite for making a player who can compete at the college level. There will be a great deal of time practicing the game and so a facility will need to be available in order to accomplish that goal.

If and when the child has accomplished a successful golf life, contacting the coach around the 7th or 8th grade will show him or her how motivated the kid is to play for Stanford. This and much more can be done to accomplish the goal of play for that great college.
