Golf Teams pick up a couple of good ones.
OWEN EGAN – HOLY CROSS
Egan helped lead Winchester High School to its first-ever MIAA Division 2 state title in 2019, and he capped his high school career in style as his final shot of the season resulted in a hole-in-one on the 123-yard, par-3 ninth hole at Winchester Country Club. This summer, Egan became the youngest winner of the Winchester CC Club Championship. Last season, he was also named to the Boston Globe All-Scholastic Team. He also made it to the quarterfinals of the 2020 Mass Junior Amateur.
ELLIE DEANDRADE – HOLY CROSS
DeAndrade has played on the Notre Dame Academy (Hingham) golf team since 7th grade and captained for two years. DeAndrade, a three-time All-Scholastic selection by the Boston Globe & Boston Herald, led NDA to a state championship title in 2018, in addition to several league titles. A member at Boston Golf Club, DeAndrade helped the Boston GC team finish runner-up at the 2019 Dolly Sullivan Best-Ball Tournament. She also played at the 2018 Junior Inter-City Cup.

New coach Napoli is serious about his job as opposed to his predecessor who just held tryouts every September for 40 plus years (and AD’s Perry and Regan did not care)

New coach Napoli is serious about his job as opposed to his predecessor who just held tryouts every September for 40 plus years (and AD’s Perry and Regan did not care) Did his predecessor have any scholarship money? The Winchester tweet says Egan signed an NLI. ( I note that another tweet shows three girls who have "committed" to Ivies for soccer so clearly the AD knows the difference.) I would think that if a golf coach had two scholarships and gave out a one half scholarship each year, he or she could recruit a pretty good team. |

I have spoken with coach Napoli and he does not have any scholarship money - he recruits like the ivies do, promising a fair shake with need-based financial aid and a first class education - it can be done across our men's minor sports as you've seen with baseball which operates under the same constraints - it is simply a matter of football and basketball taking the schollie money (which I agree with) and the other men's coaches hoping for a few breaks. Not the case with women's olympic sports which has money to offer in the form of many partials (to comply with title IX)

Kudos to the coach who seems to landed some good golfers during the past few years. I am perplexed now as to why his high school AD would tweet a picture of him signing a piece of paper that he says is an NLI. Maybe HC gave the coach a minimal amount of money to hand out. I think some people just want to be able to tell their friends that they/their kid got a scholarship. |

So, haze, either I don't understand what a "NLI" is (quite possible but thought that was used only when an actual athletic scholarship was involved) or the picture above of a golf recruit signing a NLI is mislabeled or an NLI doesn't mean what I thought and also means for financial aid which many non-athletes also get.
Regardless of scholarships, any new and younger coach might have some additional success than someone who did the job for decades. Experience counts, for sure, but youthful enthusiasm can be a great asset (and this from a guy who has more of the former than the latter).

At our school we have the kids sign something on signing day as part of a ceremony. NLI, financial aid agreement, welcome aboard letter, or something. And frequently it gets shorthanded as an NLI. So I wouldn't read too much into the verbiage accompanying any sort of a college signing ceremony. ( alum's point is well taken that this may feed the 'my kid got a schollie' parental ego too.) |

It means what you think it means. However schools in the Ivy League, Patriot League, and some others have for many years been giving recruited athletes a piece of paper (maybe a binding contract for need-based aid or an academic scholarship, or maybe totally meaningless). That gives them something to sign on Signing Day even though it is not a NLI. I remember more than a decade ago when 50+ PL football recruits every year received athletic scholarships and/or signed a NLI, even though the PL did not allow athletic scholarships in football. That still happens with some Ivy recruits. |

How many times have we seen photos of a half dozen students “signing” in a big ceremony in the high school gym and while one may be signing a D-1 football NLI we also see the one signing for his swimming scholarship at D3 Lamentable LAC College . It’s nice as they should all be proud of their athletic and academic success

I had a lengthy with Coach Napoli at my 40 year reunion in 2019. He definitely has no scholarship money, although there are apparently schools in the Northeast who do hand out such funds. I greatly admire him for his passion for college golf and the HC program. He has also seen that a few of his guys have earned academic all American honors by filling out the necessary paperwork, something that his predecessor couldn't be bothered with. I think Coach Nap was Nate Pine's best hire.
As for NLI photo, there is a girl from my local club in Princeton who had a similar photo taken with her parents that appeared in our local newspaper. I highly doubt that the family qualifies for financial aid. In any event, she opted for a gap year and will be playing for the Lady Crusader next fall. She will make a great addition to the program.

I can tell you that the large schools absolutely have scholarship money. UConn just cut back on the funding of men’s golf but BC has to based on their roster. Look at the Fairleigh Dickinson golf rosters. Those kids are not coming from Germany, Philippines, Spain, etc without getting some money! |

Only one Patriot League team has any real scholarship money - Loyola. That is why Army and Navy tend to dominate the league. Yes, FDU does have some golf scholarships. They are the only NEC school with significant scholarship money. But they haven't dominated the league. |
