Katie Veale '15 Recruiting Profile

June 2014Personal Statement
It all started with one free golf lesson at my local club (Hunters Creek, Orlando) and from there, I was hooked. As I grew, so did my club size and my passion for the game. I was aged 12 and a late starter. I had lessons for about a year then went on to play in regular competitions – at least once a month, sometimes more.
I am a full time Florida Virtual School Student and that allows me to split my time with school work and maximize my time on the golf course. I spend six days a week either playing golf or improving my skills on the range and putting green. I absolutely love putting and once I am on the green I always feel like I am going to make every putt.
I also squeeze in time with my personal trainer twice a week and work with my swing coach at least every other week. I play for the golf team at Freedom High School in Orlando.
I am a very outgoing friendly person who gets along with everyone. I have a GPA of 3.5. I am interested in marine science, forensics and sports psychology.
