IJGT Director of College Placement, Ann Maness, has years of experience with the college golf recruiting process. Being the second sibling in her family to join the elite college golf ranks, Ann played for Coastal Carolina University, where she took no time to capture her first collegiate victory. Closing in on her freshman year, Ann came from 6 shots behind in the final round of the Big South Conference Championship, firing a 68 to claim the individual conference title. With that final round 68, that to date remains the single-round record for the Women’s Golf Big South Championship. Ann went on to capture two more victories during her college career. She also participated in the 2009 NCAA Regionals, was a 4-Time Big South All-Conference Team Member, and was an 8-Time Big South Player of the Week from 2005 -2009.
