Camryn Wright '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi coaches! My name is Camryn Wright.  I live in Oconee County, which is right outside of Athens, Georgia.  I stumbled upon my love for golf after retiring from years of high-level gymnastics.   I fully believe that my time as a gymnast paved the way for my success in golf.    I have been playing golf for a little more than 2 years and my average score is an 82.  

My father has quite the obsession with the game of golf so I grew up seeing it on TV but I never really understood what was going on. I began playing golf with him just before my 9th grade year.   I played in my first High School scramble as a Freshman before the schools were closed for Covid.   I’m grateful the golf courses remained open during quarantine, because I was able to golf every single day. The summer of 2020 is when I realized that I LOVE golf.   

 My Sophomore year in High School I played in the #2 spot for North Oconee High School Varsity team. Our 2021 team finished 1st in the 4A State Championship, and I placed 9th individually. Our team advanced to play in the National Championship in Pinehurst, North Carolina. I was awarded All-State Honors for Georgia High School women's golf, and nominated for Female Golfer of the Year in our area. I gained two Camp Championships this summer playing at Achasta and Great Waters, along with winning a longest-drive competition.  

I want to take my golf game to the next level and play college golf.  I am looking forward to attending a University that will challenge me both athletically and academically. I plan to work incredibly hard both on the golf course and in the classroom.  Beyond my golf career, I would like to pursue a degree in Business. 

Being a gymnast taught me discipline, strength and flexibility.  I am accustomed to lengthy practice times and the need for time management with academic requirements.  I know how to compete under pressure.   I understand that small, consistent progress is the root of success and that failing is part of the process. Thank you for your time and consideration and for reading this. I look forward to communicating with you soon.
