Nathaniel Kahlbaugh '15 Recruiting Profile

Golf has been in my life since I was 2 years old.  It is one of the main things in my life that motivates me.

As a descendant of the Chippewa Tribe, growing up on the White Earth Indian Reservation, I have seen many people let their dreams and goals slip away.  Early on, I decided that I wasn't going to let that happen to me, just because of where I was raised. I know that there are bigger and better things out there for me. I believe that growing up and working on my family farm has also shown me that hard work and dedication goes a long way.

Playing golf for a college team is just one of the goals I have for myself.  I have been on the A honor roll throughout high school and would like to continue.   I believe playing for a college team will keep me focused on my grades, and will give me the motivation to keep my grades as they are now.  I know that with the help of teammates and coach, they will keep me on track.

As a golfer, I have had many ups and downs.  I believe that comes with the territory.  I live in a small community that only offers me a 9 hole golf course to practice on.  I would love to go to college in an area that will offer me more challenges, and provide me with the opportunity to play year round, or at least have a longer season.  I have never had any formal training, but surprisingly I have improved each year.  With hard work and personal research, I have been able to get my swing to where I am comfortable.  

As a hardworking Midwest farm boy, I feel that I am very coachable, hardworking and dedicated. I would be a great asset to your team and would really love the opportunity to show you what I can offer.
