Katelyn Neil '21 Recruiting Profile

Thanks for looking at my profile, here's a little bit more about me. I'm looking to earn a degree in business/finance. I plan to start in the Fall of 2021. Currently I am taking college courses while in high school. I have a 4.3 GPA and am in the top 25% of my class. I'm very excited to start my college career as a golfer.  I am a committed student that balances my schoolwork and golf. I'm a team player that helps and encourages my teammates at any opportunity.  I am very dedicated to playing golf/practicing and maintaining a high GPA. Lastly I'm an independent person willing to work hard to accomplish any personal or professional goals. 

Here's some quick facts about me:

• I live with my Dad and Step-Mom
• I have a older sister that is currently at Wright State earning her Business degree
• I have older step siblings, that are accomplished nurses
• I am a fun aunt that supports two adorable boys
• My mom passed away in 2016 (I was very close with her)
• I enjoy going to sporting events and hanging out with friends and family
• I am apart of the junior Mentorship Program at my High School

• I also volunteer at my local food bank doing various jobs

• I work at the PGA Tour Superstore as a cashier.

Now, to talk about my golf game:

• I have played golf since I was 9 years old
• I was inspired to golf by my dad because he has always golfed himself and has encouraged me to do so. ( Also, because my family bragged about how good my cousin was and I was sick of it so, I wanted to show them that I could do it too)
• Best golf moment: My round at Raccoon International where I shot my best round of 73. I had a very enjoyable group playing alongside my friends. I felt like I could not miss a shot. I also had my 2nd career eagle where I chipped in from 70 yards.
