Ian Blome ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I am currently a Junior at CBC High School in St. Louis, MO. I will be graduating in 2022.  I have been maintaining my GPA in the 3.5 range.   Freshman Year, prior to the Covid-19 shutdown, I was named CBC Student of the Semester - Athletic performance for Golf.  I also participate in various volunteer activities for my High School along with charity events at local Golf Courses and Country Clubs. These include……

Participated in 9 Hole Instructional matches with Club Pro and Champions Tour player for Members.

In 2020, my Sophomore High School Golf season was cancelled due to Covid-19.  As the spring and summer progressed, I was able to play in various competitive events in St. Louis, St. Charles County, Kansas and Kentucky.  Some of my finishes in these events are listed below….

The 2020 season presented many difficulties and I wasn’t able to establish a steady schedule like I have had in previous years. The results did not meet my expectations and I have since been working on swing changes and have a new golf instructor. I am working hard with my new coach and striving to have a better upcoming season.

Over the last 4-5 years I have also competed in dozens of tournaments including Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, Gateway Jr. PGA, Missouri Golf Association, STLDGA, and others.  A few of my notable accomplishments include….
