[QUOTE="DRS, post: 2080562, member: 6410"] In complete transparency, I am a high school golf coach and my program is lucky enough have currently 3 college golfers playing and 2 going D1 next year including one in the Big 10. I know for a fact, like players losing 36 hole qualifiers for conferences this year, that teams in college golf typical have an earn you way in component to their ladder. The team that one my players is on is a top 20 D3 program and this is what they do. Top 2 overall averages are in, if you get a top 10 the tourney before you are in, then the remaining are coaches choices that typically come down to a 2 day qualifier. Small is in a unique situation because it is like 2 obvious choices and the rest of the entire team kinda has an argument to go. Form in practice is gonna be huge, I don't know Stanford's course at all but is par 70-6700 yards, for these guys that is short so I imagine shot making is at a premium. course rating and slope is 73.8 and 138. that is tough for sure, but not an absurd slope, so usually that indicates green complexes are not brutal, again this is with no knowledge of their course just talking how you would typically look a those numbers. If he is going to decide maybe a spot with just coaches choice and two qualify I am betting he goes with his best iron player and chooses Crawford as one. the other players battle it out. But I don't know the inner workings of the players game to be fully informed on that, I do know that Crawford is considered a strong iron player. Should be fun to follow, this is a tough bracket for sure. [/QUOTE]
