Andrew Begg '23 Recruiting Profile

I will be a 2023 graduate of Fox Chapel High School and have played golf all four years of high school.  I have been interested in golf since a very early age but really started to focus on it in the last couple of years.  I have seen remarkable improvement in my game since joining the school golf team.  My first handicap was a 15.4.  With hard work and dedication, I have lowered it to .5.  This year my focus has been on staying calm and persevering in competitive rounds.  I have made drastic improvement in my tournament scoring average--lowering it from the mid-80s to the upper 70's and am committed to continuing to lower that average through school play as well as tournament play.  I was proud to finish in second place with a 76 in a tournament at Green Oaks Country Club coming back from a disappointing stretch to push through and finish strong.  This Fall I was honored to serve as Captain for our Varsity team.  We were a young group but were able to win our section.  While we did not advance to State's as I would have liked, I am proud of the leadership I showed working closely with my Coach to bring some of the younger guys along.

I am proud to be a part of my club's inter-club team, which has given me opportunities to play great courses and form relationships with teammates.  This is one of my favorite parts of playing golf--making friendships and supporting others--and I think it is a strength I can offer to the Collegiate team  on which I will play.  I hope to contribute to a Collegiate golf team while furthering my education and am open to just about any location.
