Competitive Junior and Collegiate Golf ft. Athan Goulos

This week on the Pure Drive Podcast, Brian Dunlevy is joined by Pure Drive Golf instructor Athan Goulos to discuss the development of competitive junior golfers and what it takes to play golf at the collegiate level.

They recap the inaugural Pure Drive Junior Academy, a 12-week winter program designed to help aspiring tournament players continue improving throughout the offseason. Brian and Athan break down the unique challenges of coaching competitive juniors.

They also dive into their college golf lives, sharing their personal experiences, discussing the scoring levels typically required for Division I, II, and III programs, and offering advice for juniors navigating the recruiting process. 

Plus, the guys preview the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, discuss their expectations for scoring, debate some of the game's biggest names, and make their picks for the year's toughest major championship.
