Emily Dunlap from Mauldin signed to play college golf at the College of Charleston.

The National Signing Day has begun the signing period for junior golfers. Unlike college football signing day when teams try to make a splash by announcing their entire recruiting class, golfers often take their time.

Colleges have between today and August to complete their recruiting for the graduating class of 2019

Junior golfers are often parts of a signing ceremony at a high school. When they sign their National Letter of Intent can be affected by when the young golfers relatives or friends can be on hand for the special day.

NCAA schools are not allowed to announce the names of their recruits until their NLI has been signed and accepted by the college or university.

While we may know the names of many more college bound golfers who have made a verbal commitment to a school it is never official until the paperwork has been faxed in.

Keeping that in mind here is some of the recruiting information we have gathered or have been sent to us here at the GolfClub Newspaper and http://www.scgolfclub.com.

CLEMSON TIGERS

Carter Pendley from Dalton, Ga.has signed to play college golf at Clemson.

Clemson coach Larry Penley has signed a golfer whose last name is certainly going to cause some confusion. He is Carter Pendley, Pendley with a D. The newest Tiger is from Dalton, Ga.

Pendley committed to Clemson in 2017. Among his accomplishments on the course are an AJGA championship at River Watch, a PGA Tour Junior win and a runner-up finish in the Georgia AAAAAA championship last year.

The Tigers expect to have another signing, but it will not be official until next week.
