Tyler Kautz '18 Recruiting Profile

Qualifying for Michigan State Division 4 State Championships my sophomore and junior year has been the highlight of my high school career so far.  I have had a golf club in my hands ever since I was three years old and my dad bet me ice cream that I couldn't hit the ball over a wall we had in our yard.  After awhile my dad ran out of ice cream money and I feel in love with golf.  My passion for golf is something I share with my dad and my two sisters.  It's what we do together. 

Thru playing golf I have learned a lot about myself.  I have always been told by all of my many sport coaches that I am very coachable.  I absorb what they say, listen well and practice the skills that they teach me.  I have learned about myself that I need to focus on my love for the game of golf and know that I contribute to the good of the team.  I have learned to focus on and know what I need to bring to each tournament to help further my team and myself.  I grabbed the competitive edge and hung onto it.  I am a team player and was nominated co-captain my junior and upcoming senior year as well.  Academics are very important to me and I have worked hard to maintain a good GPA. 

I am looking for a college that will be a good fit for me.  I am outgoing and enjoy being on a team that has a great team bond.   A unique quality that I possess is my strength in driving the ball.  As a three sport athlete with 10 Varsity letters earned and two co-captain titles,  I know that I have great work-ethic, leadership skills, people skills and academic drive to make an immediate impact on your team.   I have what it takes to come to your school and be your athlete.
