In this Tiger Dads episode, Beau and Jason sit down with Keilee Bessho, head coach of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Women’s Golf Team, for an eye-opening conversation about the different paths to playing college golf.While so many families focus on Division I, Keilee breaks down the real differences between D1 and D3 - on and off the course - including time commitment, development, recruiting, and overall student-athlete experience. She shares what coaches are actually looking for, how junior golfers can find the right fit, and why D3 can be an incredible (and often overlooked) option for competitive players.The guys also dig into what parents should be thinking about during the recruiting process, how to balance golf with academics, and how to keep long-term development and enjoyment at the center of the journey.If you’re navigating the path to college golf and trying to understand where your child fits, this episode is packed with clarity, perspective, and practical advice you won’t hear often enough.
