Nicholas Grzejka '22 Recruiting Profile

My golf career started very late.   I'm fortunate to live across the street from our Golf Club and simply enjoyed hanging out with my friends at the range and putting area.   I tried out for Battlefield Golf team my Freshmen year and Coach Fricke gave me a chance to prove myself on the Development Team.  Our High School has a very competitive program with many past players playing collegiate golf.    As I played that year, I fell in love with the game and really wanted to contribute to our team's success.

During that off-season I practiced every day and my parents provided weekly lesson's with the Assistant Pro at the Piedmont Club. My handicap went from a 20 to a 3.  My Coach recommended i play a rigorous summer tournament schedule on the MAPGA Junior Tour.  I finished in the Top 3 in points and qualified for the end of season Tour Championship.  I decided to put my Team first and represent my High School over playing in the the Tour Championship.

During my Sophomore year I started on the Battlefield team.   Coach loved my consistency and my scores were utilized  in every tournament. Over the course of the season my HCP dropped to a 1.   Since our Team finished first in the Regional Tournament, I had the opportunity to play in the VHSL State Tournament which was a great experience and fueled my internal fire to be a State Champion like our Number 1 seed Bryce Corbett who is playing at Radford University this year.    I learned a ton about my game during the season and strive to continue to improve.

I absolutely love the game of golf and think I would be an excellent student athlete and teammate at the College level.
