My son is going to play D3 baseball (already committed) but he is injured at the moment. He picked up golf this summer while he heals and loves it and practices obsessively, since he can’t practice baseball. I asked him if his injury doesn’t heal fully would he consider switching to golf in college? He laughed at me and explained the math of how few male golfers can make collegiate teams.

I had no idea![/quote]

My DS is a freshman on the golf team at an Ivy, and there are eight members on the golf team.  Golf is probably one of the hardest sports to make the team due to roster size.  DS also told me that only he and another member of the team are from a middle-class family, the other six members are from very wealthy families.  Those wealthy teammates are nice to DS, but they hang out among themselves after golf, and that DS is not part of their cliques.[/quote]

OTOH,

I knew two women on the golf team at a PAC-10 university; they both had a full ride.

They joked they were not even very good at golf, but because of Title IX, the university was desperate to recruit them.

Not that many girls play golf.[/quote]
