do you kids play golf in college - for fun

[Anonymous]

DS wondering if he should be bringing clubs. He loves golf and the college has a course that's associated somehow and very near (15 min walk). But clubs aren't small and he says he'd "feel like a douche" if he's the only one showing up with golf clubs. But it's kind of his only outdoorsy thing he does. He doesn't run, etc

I mean if the college has an affiliated course then definitely bring them. Only caveat is if it’s a school in Maine or MN or something where realistically, you will only play a month out of the year.

My kids brought their clubs and play like 5-6 times per year.

Yes it’s a big frat thing.
DS at Cornell. They play through mid Oct (2 months) and April through mid May (1.5 months)….
Close to 3x a week.

I took golf as my PE credit at Cornell. Great course.

I did when the weather was nice! We had a beautiful golf course on campus.

My son does - very rare to actually go to a course as it’s far and expensive, but his friends get out their clubs and putt and chip on green spaces on campus for fun.

If he is a golfer he will meet others who love the game. Bring them. Golf is a wonderful sport and leads to others with the same mindset.

My doctor husband never played golf. We're were poor he was unfortunately not a golfer. Our sons never played. I think it has hurt them in social situations.

my son who is a freshman in college just told me last night one of his goals this summer is to learn to play golf. apparently it's a thing and he feels like he's missing out.

so yeah, I think he should bring them. he could just plan on storing them on his half of the room.

And. But you get my point. A lot of social networking goes on golf courses.

Mine's at Tulane and they play a lot. He doesn't have his own clubs (yet) but several of his friends brought their personal clubs.
