Mitchell Pape '20 Recruiting Profile

    I am looking for a college that can offer a quality education that will enable me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mathematics or engineering. A college that I would prefer to attend should have a challenging golf course with coaches that allow me to reach my maximum potential. In doing so, this will push me to improve my game as well as prepare me for the next stage of my life, whether it be golf or a career.

    I am a three sport varsity athlete and have maintained a 4.0 cumulative GPA. I strive to do my best in all areas of my life including school, sports, and work. I have learned through golf that I can’t always be perfect, and that every shot can’t be perfect. However, I can always put in the perfect effort and accept constructive criticism to learn and improve.

    Living in Pinedale Wyoming at 7,182’ elevation, I battle a 6 month offseason with a 9-hole home course. Most people think my aspirations are too high; however, through hard work, determination, and being extremely coachable, I have seen vast improvement. I am very fortunate to have parents that support me and drive 16 hours round trip twice a year to work with my golf coach.

    Golf has taught me the value of good sportsmanship and honesty. I will not be satisfied until I have made a positive impact on the golf program and my teammates; the college I will be attending; and the community where I will reside. I will make every effort to improve myself on and off the golf course.
