WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PLAY COLLEGIATE GOLF
“Bruce Fleming's Webinars for MJT members are very informative and have really helped to clarify the research and recruiting process for our family. He does a great job of presenting the questions to ask and consider when exploring a golf scholarship."
"Our family has learned about researching the various options available and we are now armed with the best information available to find a school that is a fit (both academically and athletically). The emphasis on the academic part of the process is very important and it’s great for the athletes to hear it from someone other than their parents."
"I would highly recommend the Webinars as an excellent resource to help build a plan for evaluating the options available when considering an athletic scholarship. I think it would have seemed much more overwhelming and taken a lot longer to feel confident about the college search and recruiting process if we didn’t have the information from these Webinars.” ….Bennett family, ON.
