DIVISION I HEAD COACH
NCAA ALL-AMERICAN
AJGA ADVISOR
An Experienced Perspective
Nicky Goetze
(Pronounced Gets)
As a proven competitive player and former Division I head coach, I offer junior golfers and parents the opportunity to learn from my experience so they can effectively navigate junior golf and manage the college placement process.
Having coached in several regions of the country for over a decade, I am able to help clients gain a deeper understanding of how to best approach the coaching audience and investigate the expansive college golf landscape. By regularly meeting with current coaches, attending college tournaments, as well as touring and researching college campuses around the nation, I am prepared to help clients develop realistic expectations for college placement.
The American Junior Golf Association recognizes me as an official College Golf Advisor, and I provide recruiting seminars for its staff and membership on a regular basis. I’m also a contributing author for the “Going to College” column on juniorgolfscoreboard.com.
