Earlier in the thread I believe there was a reference to "mercenary" type players who join a team in the middle of the year.  Dylan Kim enrolled at Baylor in January and immediately began playing on the golf team.  She was an early enrollee.  http://www.baylorbears.com/sports/w-golf...14aaa.html

We have seen this in football - kids graduating after the first semester of their senior year, then enrolling in college so they can participate in spring practice.  But I was not aware that this happened in golf. 

Apparently happens all of the time.  U$€ got the #1 Juco player, and then conveniently enough she was able to compete in January.

Golf really is an individual sport, so as soon as these schools can find a way to get the players on campus they are essentially ready to go.

Farm93, the article says that the #1 juco player will enroll in the fall.  The player who joined the team mid-year was frosh Amy Lee.  She destroyed Stackhouse yesterday 6 & 4.  But I do take your point that this practice of adding players mid-year is not uncommon.
