Morgan Bemis '18 Recruiting Profile

I have been competing in competitive golf tournaments for the last three years (2014-2017). This has included the Gateway Junior PGA, AJGA events, JGS events and high school play. For the last two years, one of my favorite tournaments was the Country Youth Classic played in Bloomington, Illinois.

I have worked my freshman, sophomore and junior high school career with Coach Carey Cappel. My off-season golf coach is PGA professional Kyle Williams.

I currently play five days a week hitting range balls, playing practice rounds, and working on chipping and putting. I am also employed at Rolling Hills Golf Course.

My most impressive golf accomplishments up to this point include:

    My high school golf team qualified for the Illinois High School Association state golf tournament my freshman year with me playing the number 5 spot out of six players.

    I carded my first hole-in-one on August 7, 2015 on a 97 yard par 3 using a pitching wedge. 

    My sophomore and junior years, I qualified for the Illinois High School Association sectional tournament barely missing state qualification.
