Sydney Hubner '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing golf since I was only 5 years old. I spent a lot of time on golf courses with my grandpa from a young age and quickly developed a love for the game.  I am hardworking, dedicated, and determined to always be the best I can possibly be.  I grew up playing in the PGA Junior program, where I met my personal coach.  

I just concluded my junior golf season at Pekin Community High School in Pekin, Illinois. I set goals for myself for the season at the end of sophomore year and I am happy to report that I accomplished my goals.  Prior to my junior high school season, I played in a number of tournaments this past summer, where I scored in the range of 77-79, with my PR being 73.  I moved into my junior year high school season and felt confident.  I had a great season where I continued to lower my overall stroke count from last year, lengthened my drives, and really focused on my irons and short game.  I placed in the top 10 in our 18 hole tournaments, made 1st Team All-Conference, and conquered Regionals, Sectionals, and the State Tournament. We made it as a team to Sectionals, but then I was the only individual to make it to the State Tournament from the team.  At the State Tournament, I shot a first round 77 and advanced to Day 2.  I shot an 82 on Day 2, which was not my best score, but there were so many things I did well at the same time.  With the end of my season now here, I have already set goals for my senior year, which starts now. I am looking forward to returning to strength and conditioning and time with my personal coach.  

I want nothing more than to continue to play golf at the collegiate level at a school that believes in me and best fits my academic needs. I am planning on majoring in Nursing. I would make a great candidate on a team because I am a natural leader who continually shows perseverance. I love cheering on my teammates and all that they accomplish and am constantly wanting to improve and challenge myself to become better. I take everything that my coach tells me and truly apply it to every shot to continue to improve as I aspire to become better in all aspects of my golf game. Currently, my irons and my short game are definitely my strongest aspects! I prioritize my grades along with golf as they are just as important. I maintain over a 4.0 GPA and am on High Honor Roll. I participate in the Student Council, both volunteering and helping to better my school, Future Christian Athletes (FCA), and Dragon Day leaders to help acclimate new students to our high school. I will continue to push myself in both my academics and my golf game, as I aspire to be the best I can possibly be at both.
