Nick: I was introduced to ForeCollegeGolf by my Mom who had heard about the service from another golf Mom. I did not have a specific structure for contacting schools and if I had just winged it like I had planned on doing, I do not think I would be in the same position I am today. Not only did Mike help me with contacting coaches and creating a resume, but what I learned about how to talk with coaches was immensely valuable. I know that I will carry those communication skills for the rest of my life and will open more doors for me.

Maura (Mom): Mike has helped our son tremendously throughout the college golf recruiting process. He gave our son, Jamie, the confidence and the knowledge to pursue a lifelong dream of a college golf scholarship in America. The personal planner helped him organize zoom calls, to create a resume & swing video, organizing mock interviews to contacting college coaches. He helped my son find the right fit for him both athletically and academically. Now my son has committed to a golf scholarship and I can honestly say that he could not have got this without Mike’s professional help and support. As he will begin his college journey in 2021 I feel that we have a made a new friend in Mike and he’s always available at the other end of the phone which is great comfort to us when we’re living in Ireland! We highly recommend Mike Smith and Fore College Golf.

Luke: Mike has not only helped me in navigating the world of college golf but he also helped develop me as a junior golfer. Mike is a great coach that I can always rely on and shortly after I started to work with him I shot my best tournament round ever. Mike makes the college golf process more simple and easy for all of his students and I can’t think of a better person to help guide me through his journey.

Matt (dad): Mike has been extremely helpful to my wife and I in understanding how, as parents, we can support and understand the youth golf experience. His sense of organization and excellent communication skills have also challenged our son to take great responsibility and commitment to his game both in the training and recruitment process.

“Going into the winter of my senior year of high school, I had minimal experience with college coach communication. After a family friend recommended I check out Fore College Golf, I set up a Zoom with Coach Mike and we talked for about 3 hours about myself as a golfer and as a person. Since then, I have worked on my game with Mike down at TPC Sawgrass, been on dozens of Zoom Meetings with Mike, and been in contact with more coaches than I could imagine. Working with Coach Mike has been quite a blessing for me as a person and golfer striving to play college golf.”

“Thanks to Fore College Golf and Mike’s help, I was able to find the perfect school for me. Without Fore College Golf, I never would have been in contact with the coaches and teams I eventually had interest from. I used another recruiting service before, and Mike is more involved and knowledgeable in the recruiting process than anyone I had researched or used before. Although Fore College Golf is primarily recruiting, Mike’s knowledge of golf and what he teaches you along the way will make you a better player too.”

“Mike helped me look at the strategy side of golf differently than how I used to look at it. He helped me with the visualization of shots and especially on approach shots to the green. He made me realize that I didn't have to aim at the flag on every shot and made me think about how to pick targets, which has helped me play smarter and has allowed me to lower my scores over time.”

“I was introduced to Mike through the CH3 Performance Golf Academy in Dubai, and I have been working with him for six months. Although I am at an early stage in the process, Mike’s experiences as a former NCAA Division I athlete and his knowledge of the system and procedures has been invaluable. Our discussions and work together have really helped me to feel more confident in my preparations towards achieving my goal of playing college golf. I was fortunate enough to meet Mike in person on a visit to the USA this summer which was very insightful, and I feel has cemented our relationship. I am excited to continue working with Mike over the coming years and really look forward to continuing to learn from his expertise and experience. I would highly recommend working with Mike and ForeCollege Golf to anybody out there looking to play college golf.”

“Mike helped me a lot by showing me a different perspective for looking at different colleges and how I should pick the right one based on their athletics, academics and social side of the school. I was very impressed by the amount of information he could tell me about a number of colleges and Mike is also sharing his personal experience with his players. I got a taste of the American culture and JMU through Mike simply because it's his alma mater and I began to understand how most Coaches think about the recruiting process.”
