"When we started with Bruce, we felt overwhelmed with the prospect of how to find not only the right college choices, but the right college choices AND with golf and academic programs to fit our son's interests and abilities. By the time we concluded his Development Plan, we not only had a roadmap in hand, but were well on our way in implementing it. For us, it wasn't about how to get our son into the highest ranked D-I program, but finding where he could continue to enjoy competitive golf while pursuing a solid education. For our son, it was well-timed at the beginning of his junior year in high school, when the college search process frequently starts. We would highly recommend Dr. Fleming's services to junior golfers and their parents."

"We were very fortunate to have Dr. Bruce Fleming work with us this year as our son begins to navigate his way through the complicated college recruiting process. His expertise was invaluable with every aspect of the process and he gave us professional, sound advice every step of the way. We appreciated his honest feedback as he helped our son determine the best fit schools both academically and athletically. We look forward to seeing through his recruitment plan and would not hesitate to recommend Bruce’s services to anyone who has a son/daughter with aspirations to play college golf. A huge thank you to Bruce and the MJT for the consulting scholarship and this tremendous opportunity!"

"Bruce Fleming helped demystify the whole college process! He gave us crucial college information we would have never found on our own. He was instrumental in the planning of our son's golf tournament schedule and Bruce helped us make efficient use of our time. We look forward to continuing this relationship in the future."

"Play Collegiate Golf and Dr. Fleming have been extremely beneficial to HJGT members. The monthly column that Dr. Fleming writes is extremely helpful in guiding parents and players through the college golf recruiting process. Dr. Fleming's services are second to none and I highly recommend him to junior golfers aspiring to play college golf."

"Bruce Fleming through his Play Collegiate Golf program helped me secure my future academic and athletic careers in a professional, informative, and organized manner. His support in readying myself for interviews with college golf coaches and preparing me with my own line of questions for coaches helped determine the best fit school and golf program for me. This was a major component in my successful recruitment plan for Spring 2010. I am a mid-year transfer and Bruce's hard-work helped me sign with one of my top three college choices and I will be playing the first tournament of the semester. I would recommend Play Collegiate Golf to any aspiring junior golfer who wants to find the right academic and athletic fit to ensure a great college golf experience."

"We are very pleased with the services that Bruce has provided us. He has been nothing short of EXCELLENT and we would highly recommend his services to parents with children looking to take their golf game to the college level. This sport provides enough challenges without adding in the element of looking for the right "fit" in a college or university. Bruce has provided us with honest and genuine feedback while keeping our son's interest at the forefront of this process. We look forward to what the next two years bring!"

"It has been a pleasure working with Dr. Bruce Fleming over the past year. He helped us navigate the often confusing recruiting rules associated with the different divisions of the NCAA. He also took the time to speak and correspond with our son, and got to know him and what his goals were both academically and golf wise. This helped Bruce make recommendations about schools relative to their academic programs and strengths as well as about a school's golf program, schedule and coaches. He has always been very forthright in his assessments of the different universities and programs and exposed us to many options that we would not have thought of. We would recommend his services to anyone who has a child with a talent for golf who would like to pursue their passion at the university level."

"Bruce Fleming’s guidance enabled our son to link his passion for golf with plans for college. Bruce’s advice was tailored to our son’s needs, timely, and extremely helpful. When we started with Bruce we had no idea on what schools would be most appropriate for our son or how to contact college coaches and get a dialogue going with them. Bruce helped tremendously in both regards. Perhaps an even more important, but unexpected, benefit of Bruce’s involvement was that our son took ownership of his college application process. After working with Bruce our son was emailing coaches and completing applications on his own without even a gentle push from us. We wish all parenting went like this."

"Play Collegiate Golf is a MUST program for juniors and parents interested in achieving a college golf scholarship at a college of their choice! Bruce Fleming, founder of Play Collegiate Golf, is extremely knowledgeable and a joy to work with. Bruce helps you understand and educates you on the golfing and academic requirements needed for playing college golf. We were amazed at how complex the college golf scholarship process is, but with Bruce's expertise and his fine tuned program, together we were able to easily customize our own game plan in time for the start of our daughter's junior high school year. The Play Collegiate Golf program and working personally with Bruce Fleming was invaluable for us and we are thrilled to have had such a great experience and grateful to have our own game plan in place."

“We engaged Bruce Fleming to evaluate our 10th grade son who has expressed an interest in playing college golf. Bruce did an excellent job of getting to know Rhett and our family prior to his on-site visit. He spent a weekend visiting us to discuss academics, met with our PGA professional, created a series of golf drills for Rhett and played with him to help understand his potential. Bruce followed up promptly with an evaluation and plan that we will use over the next two years. Specifically, the Play Collegiate Golf program provided us a solid game plan that educated us about the recruiting process and potential best fits for our son's academic needs and golf potential. We intend to build on the relationship that we have established with Bruce in the future.”

"Living in the U.K. and having a daughter in school in the U.S, the process of finding the right athletic/academic college was a daunting task. We had no idea of the work involved. Bruce was our lifeline and we could definitely not have done this without him. His experience and knowledge is second to none and we are extremely grateful to him."

"Our family appreciates everything Bruce did for our grandson. Bruce is a very organized professional in this field. When we first started looking at possibilities where our grandson might want to play college golf we didn't have a clue on how to go about it, but with Bruce's help we feel confident we have found the right school."

"I found Bruce's services to be simply outstanding. He is articulate, thoughtful, and balanced. He does very thorough research and tailors his product to each young person. It is not a 'cookie cutter approach,' but rather an approach that is unique to each young player."

"For 2 years now, I've been involved with the Rice Planters Golf Tournament at Snee Farm CC. It's success is in large part due to our Tournament Director, Bruce Fleming. His knowledge of the amateur game, his skills as a communicator and coordinator, and his dedication to making the event better each year have impressed me greatly."

"There are many people who like to get involved or associated with amateur golf, but there are very few who are willing to see the event through from A to Z. Bruce understands the preparation necessary to successfully manage the entirety of the event."

"During the last four years I have had the pleasure of working with, and having, Bruce Fleming as the Tournament Director for the Rice Planters Amateur. I have been associated for 10 of the 37 years of the tournament’s existence and Bruce managed to go from having all the work be done by a few volunteers to having committees that work in conjunction with myself and the pro shop staff. I can honestly say he has made my job easier and made the tournament one of the Top 10 tournaments on the eastern seaboard that is a must play event for the highest level of amateur golfers."
