Kyle Mahaffey '20 Recruiting Profile

Golf has been a large outlet and passion for my entire life. Ever since I began playing competitive golf, I have aspired to play golf at the collegiate level. I have dedicated plenty of long nights and practice sessions improving myself physically and mentally. I always strive to work harder and improve everything from my short game to mental attitude. I love all aspects of golf, whether it’s approaching every tournament with a winning mindset or helping lift up my teammates after tournaments or matches in order to make them better. I also enjoy acting as a role model for my other teammates by being an example they can look up to and follow, just as I did when I was a freshman. Setting goals is a huge part of my game and I embrace the difficulty of completing them.

Not only do I spend much of my time and energy out on the course but in the classroom as well. I take academics just as serious as golf by maintaining a 4.0 GPA and taking honors and AP classes. I challenge myself with more demanding classes to help prepare for my future in college. I participate in many extracurricular activities such as being the Vice President of Key Club and becoming a member of the National Honor Society. I engage in other sports by competing on the swim team and playing basketball.
