Hello Coaches,

I'd like to introduce myself; my name is Kylie McGrath.  I am a 2024 student-athlete at Liberty High School in Renton, WA.  

Here are some quick "get to know me" things  - 

• I'm very easy to travel with - I'm organized and pack lightly.  I enjoy listening to music, watching movies or conversing in the car
• I enjoy a variety of different music and genre like - Backstreet Boys, Journey, Sza, Mamma Mia Soundtrack, Wicked sound track, and more.  And although I don't have the best voice, I will be part of your sing-along chorus
• I can eat all types of food - although I may have preference (e.g. Asian food - Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai) - I can eat all types of food from burgers, pizza, Mexican food and more

Below is a more robust picture of who I am and what I can offer your team - 

I believe I possess many of the strong qualities that make me a solid golf recruit and prepares me well to play competitive golf in college.  I am an outstanding student, accomplished junior golfer, leader and philanthropist.  

I am interested in attending a university that has very strong academics, encourages its students to take risks and follow their dreams and one that values and promotes diversity and leadership.  In addition to strong academics, it would be amazing to attend a school that has a competitive golf program that not only thrives in competition but also fosters teamwork, camaraderie, trust, and confidence in its players.

Washington Cup 

In partnership with the AJGA, I am hosting a golf charity event - the Washington cup.  It is a team fundraising event founded in 2023 through a partnership between Sahalee Country Club, The AJGA, The First Tee of Greater Seattle. The Ryder Cup style event will raise money for The AJGA's ACE Grant Program and The First Tee - Greater Seattle.

As a group, we're targeting to raise over $50,000.  

The inaugural event will take place this October 7th/8th.

I hope the combination of my strong golf game combined with my academic record and history of giving back to the community makes me a highly sought after 2024 golf recruit.
