I am a college freshman and currently am on the golf team. Because I would like to become a pediatrician some day, my advisor signed me up for classes leading to a cellular/molecular biology major. Golf practice is 4 hours each day, which takes a big chunk of study time away from me. Is 4 hours of daily practice excessive? reasonable? Please help.How much of a time commitment is D2 college golf?I play D2 golf and it really all depends on the program. Some schools practice 3 times a week but you will never ever practice every day. First off you have travel during the season and second the NCAA does not allow 7 days a week. The coach has to give a day off at least one per week. 4 hours a day is reasonable.. If you are just doing range stuff you wont be there for four hours but walking 18 does take that long. However, if you want to get out of practice because it is too much then just schedule your class during part of the practice. Your coach has to understand and they only offer niche classes at certain times. You can do half practice/half class on like Tue Thur. But its not too bad really.How much of a time commitment is D2 college golf?This is a funny question. If I could golf for free EVERY DAY and practice, I would be damn good. Gotta learn to balance school and golf. I have 15 hours a week (5 classes) and go to work after for 4-6 hours, and get GOOD grades. If you care about golf anywhere near where I do, you need to stick with golf. You have the opportunity of a lifetime to do what you love(golf) and get an education for FREE.How much of a time commitment is D2 college golf?It's reasonable for the level of golf you're playing, but certainly on the higher side. If you want to focus on your major, it may be may be wise to quit the team, however, you should give it a trial period to find out whether or not you will be overwhelmedHow much of a time commitment is D2 college golf?
4 hours EVERY day seems excessive.. i played D3 golf and we had 4 hour practices but only 4 times a week... we would hit balls on the range and do various drills... do some chipping, putting, sand shots ect.. then play 18 holes. 4 hours EVERY day while keeping up with classes is rough... make a decision to rough it out or just drop the team i would say.
