Nicky Marsh '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Nick Marsh. My goal is to play college golf.

I attend Friends Seminary School in New York City.  I am a serious student with a 3.5 GPA and feel that the rigorous academics at Friends has prepared me well for college.  I am particularly interested in Math and Science.

I have always been a good athlete.  Before High School I was the captain of my travel soccer team for 3 years.  At Friends, I will play 3 years of Varsity Soccer as a starting center back.  I enjoy the position because I have a view of the whole game. I also greatly enjoy the camaraderie of sports teams.  In fact, during COVID, in 8th grade, I lived and went to high school outside of NYC and made the local high school Varsity Baseball team.  I loved it.  I played starting shortstop, was a very good hitter and even got to pitch a few times.

My golf career is unique.  I played for the first time 2 1/2 years ago and was immediately hooked.  I made the Varsity team at Friends my Freshman year and was the first person ever from my school to quality for the NY State Federation Cup.  I had only been playing golf for a year.  While I have only recently started playing tournaments, I have already seen some success and won 2 of them.  However, what makes me unique is my drive and potential. My golf coach said the first time he saw my swing that if someone told him I was shooting in the 60s he would have believed it.  My soccer coach has said that I am 'the glue' on the team.  And as any of my coaches can tell you, I never get tired - mentally or physically.

I look forward to continuing to develop my game over the next two years and being prepared to play competitively in college.
