I was raised to be a basketball player. Most little girls want to be princesses or ballerinas when they grow up; I wanted to play in the WNBA.

It's a perfect summer Sunday afternoon, and you're enjoying the sun and the company of your best friends on the golf course. Maybe you have a small side wager with someone in the group, and you're all square heading to the 18th tee.

It comes as no surprise that fraternities are a key resource in finding students interested in club golf. Matt Dohse of Iowa State is the Director of Greek Life Golf for the NCCGA in 2014, and shares his thoughts on the state of fraternity golf and why it's so important for our continued growth.

Whether you're an avid golfer or a weekend hack, you've probably thought about who would be in your dream foursome.
