Grant Boudreau '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Grant Boudreau and I am currently a senior at Bishop Leblond High School in Saint Joseph, Missouri.  I have been playing golf all of my life, casually, until freshman year when I was able to play on the high school varsity golf team. Freshman year my golf score was generally in the low to mid 90's and this last summer before my senior year my scores were in the low to mid 70's. I have continued to improve my performance over the last couple of years and plan to continue in my efforts to advance in skill and mental toughness for the game.  Since my performance level was not competitive enough until last year,  I do not have a resume with large  amounts of big tournament wins like other junior players. I have had quite a lesson in overcoming hardship and growing in strength of character and perseverance during my years in high school.  It started with a concussion my freshman year in football, a broken collar bone my sophomore year in football, and climaxed with the sudden death of my father during the second half of my sophomore year.  I was a three sport athlete until junior year when I was medically advised to avoid playing competitive basketball after my heart condition was discovered.  My cardiologist has encouraged my continued play of golf and also cleared me for my senior football season, which was just recently completed.  I have started working on golf for the spring with my swing coach, as well as with days of play when weather permits.  It is an unfortunate disadvantage living in the North and being subject to months of no play due to winter weather.  I do look forward to living in an area in which warm weather allows for continuous play.  I am very determined and hard working in my golf goals and have every intention of advancing toward them.  I have a very coach able attitude and truly welcome instruction in order to gain consistency in high level play. Thank you for viewing my profile and allowing me an opportunity to be a part of your golf team.
