Makayla Grubb '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

My name is Makayla Grübb and I am a 16yr old golfer who has been competing for just over 6 years.  My desire is to continue playing at the collegiate level and be part of a team that works, supports and inspires each other both in golf and life.  I am the youngest of 4 children and parents who have spent their lives in service to others.  I have learned the value of hard work, determination, and perseverance in moments when life presents challenges.  Having watched my special need sister overcome daily challenges has given me and appreciation for what resiliency truly is and she remains a constant source of inspiration.  Learning is something I am passionate about both academically and athletically.  I have never left the classroom or golf course without having learned a lesson either about myself, the subject or the game. 

Presently, I hold a 4.3 GPA while attending the Governors program.  The academic challenges this program provides will prepare me for the challenges of college and life as a student athlete.  Time management is one of the most difficult transitions any new student must learn.  I am confident that because of my present academic requirements (2 honors classes, 2 AP) and athletic schedule my leap into college and athletics will be a challenge I am prepared for.

Currently I am in the process of working with my swing and putting coach to further my game and lower my scores.  With a strong team and determination it is my goal to stand beside some of the top ranked junior golfers in the country.  My tournament schedule includes several invitationals against numerous nationally ranked ladies.  These are challenges I seek.  Challenges that enable me to test myself against the best and in doing so elevate my game. 

As I look to the future, I hope that I am given that opportunity to help my Team both collectively and as individuals to reach new heights.  I’ll close with the following quote from Napoleon Bonaparte, and something I use as my inspiration.

“The reason most people fail instead of succeed is they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.” 

Thank you and best of luck to you and your team.

Respectfully,

Makayla Grübb
