Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin College Showcase
The purpose of the College Showcase Tournament is to bring golf recruits and college coaches together. The 2014 Showcase Tournament is open to all Wisconsin WIAA golfers (including classes of 2014 – 2018) and provides a unique opportunity to have their games evaluated by college golf coaches at every level. For the golf coaches, the Showcase Tournament allows them to efficiently recruit multiple golfers and focus their evaluations on specific players and golf skills that they feel are most important to their program.
The GCAW College Showcase draws college coaches from as far away as Ohio and Kansas. In total 46 D1, D2, D3 and NAIA programs were at the 2013 event, in addition to several scouts for national recruiting organizations.
The 2014 Showcase Tournament is going to be a two day event. Day one at the Straits will start with skills events, including ball-striking, video and launch monitor. NCAA and NAIA round table question and answer discussions will also take place on Day one. Day two will start with an 8:00 shotgun start on the Irish Course at Whistling Straits followed by lunch and awards. All golfers will get an Adidas golf shirt, a TaylorMade showcase numbered hat, a numbered bag sticker and a Showcase program.

Wisconsin PGA points for this event will be 200 points for the winner (Boys & Girls)
