College Golf Experience (CGX) will host the first-ever Top100 Showcase Camps, bringing together top-ranked boys and girls junior golfers with powerhouse college golf coaches and programs at The Wigwam Resort outside of Phoenix, December 17-18, 2022.

Top100 Boys Showcase Camp and Top100 Girls Showcase Camp will take place simultaneously on different courses at The Wigwam. Nationally ranked junior golfers who have already signed up to attend include: Boys - Class of '24: #59 and #82, Class of '25: #15, #20, #26, #36, #46, #62, #69, #71, #72, #80, #98, Class of '26: #9, #28, #31, #35, #52, #83, #90, #102, #125, #131, #134; and Girls - Class of '25: #39, #49, Class of '26: #48, #73, #76, #100.

At the Top100 Showcase Camps, juniors and their parents will experience all things college golf including one-on-one engagement with coaches, education seminars on college golf and the recruiting process, along with open Q&A sessions. Juniors will also receive on-course coach engagement during simulated college golf practice and tournament rounds, all while experiencing real-time evaluation and personalized feedback from coaches to help them on their path to finding the right collegiate program fit.

While all junior golfers are welcome and eligible to attend this unprecedented gathering of coaches and juniors, the top-125 juniors in their classes have been invited to take part in this showcase camp. CGX camps are open to any and all entrants limited only by number of participants, gender, and age.

"The ultimate goal of the Top100 camp is to show the junior golf landscape that camps play an important role in the path to collegiate golf. Whether you are looking at a NAIA, DIII or Top 25 DI program, camps can be a catalyst to helping juniors find their fit and their spot at the next level," CGX CEO Joshua Jacobs says. "Unifying top-ranked junior golfers and their parents with the best coaches and programs gives all participants the opportunity to build early and meaningful connections, thus serving a critical role that cannot be filled by a competitive event."

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
