Brandon Shaffer '25 Recruiting Profile

It was only a few years ago that I discovered the game of golf. Unlike many who start playing at a young age or receive formal coaching, my journey into golf was rather unconventional. Self-taught and driven by sheer passion, I found that the game came naturally.

My introduction to golf was through my dad who is nothing more than a casual recreational player. With determination and an eagerness to learn, I began studying the game through online resources, instructional videos, and countless hours spent on the course. Golf has become my sanctuary, a place where I could challenge myself, and feel the satisfaction of seeing improvement each time I am on the course.

As I have grown in this sport a new ambition for me has emerged: to pursue collegiate golf. My goal is not just to compete, but to thrive—to represent my future college with integrity, sportsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. I am a strong student-athlete currently attending a rigorous prep boarding school in Connecticut. I am a leader in both the classroom and among my peers on campus. I am committed to investing the time, effort, and dedication required to reach my full potential as a student-athlete.

In embracing this new passion and charting my own path in the world of golf, I've discovered a sense of purpose. As I embark on this next chapter of my journey, I am eager to see where my dedication and love for the game will take me.
