Answer 1

Certainly! The key with these stats is your GPA though. Colleges want to see scholastic achievement as well as achievement in golf. Think about it this way, if you are on academic probation you can't play. So they look at grades more as the determining factor when they award scholarships. Keep up practice though, you need it to get to scratch and further. Practice every day. If you can't get out to the range or on the course, chip in your backyard. Don't have a backyard? Go to the park. It is worth so much to your game to work on just ball striking. Putt in your living room. Develop an awesome controlled and repeatable putting stroke. Listen to your coach and work hard scholastically and physically and you will attain your goals.

Answer 2

There is a possibility. Two things must definitely happen. First your GPA has to be closer to 4.0 than your present 3.4 which means much better study habits. Then you have to play in tournaments for juniors to get valuable experience of playing under pressure. Also to see how you stack up against others in your age group. When you become a senior how many others with similiar or better skills will be qualifying for the college golf teams?
