  • Navigating Junior and College Golf with Rich Brazeau of Second Nine Consulting
    Feb 1 2021

    As a former college golf coach, player, AJGA employee and overall fanatic for the college game Rich is the owner of Second Nine Consulting. Based on his 10+ years in the college golf industry that my knowledge, philosophy and network allows him to help junior golfers and their families find their best fit for college golf.  His time with the AJGA has allowed him an even deeper understanding of junior golf, tournament scheduling and how this can directly affect college recruitment.  This can be a very stressful process for families and his job is to MAKE IT SIMPLE!

    His philosophy on college placement revolves around finding the "best fit" for each player and family based on their priorities in finding a school.  Each player and family will have different wants and needs from an academic, athletic, social aspect.  After spending over 6 years as a Division 1 coach, he has seen hundreds of recruits go through this process and knows what it takes to play at every level (Division 1, Division 2+3 and NAIA). He is confident that his skills and knowledge will help families figure out what is most important to them and establish a great list of "target schools" based on their needs.  This is an incredibly important part of the process and often overlooked.

    He is also one of the AJGA's College Golf Advisors.  The AJGA has been a huge part of his golfing life, as a player, employee and coach.  

    In today's episode we discuss: 

    Navigating the junior golf circuit  

    The college recruiting and application program for golfers

    The challenges that Covid has put on the recruiting process

    How Rich helps golfers and their families navigate this world
