Kelly Grassel - Indiana HS Champion

This past week-end Indiana State High School Junior Kelly Grassel won the individual portion of the State High School Championships with a two day total of 148.  The seond round was played in 50 degree temperatures with wind  Kelly started the final round with bogies on 3 of the first 4 holes.  She rallied to play the final 14 holes in 2-under par to take the title by one shot.  This is the second Indiana state accomplishment for her.  In 2010 she was named the Indiana Junior Golf Player of the Year. 
Kelly has been a student of mine since she was 6 years old.  Her two older brothers, Kyle and Ryan are both college golfers as well.  Working hard at her game is just what Kelly does.  She's not the strongest or the longest player in junior golf.  But she overcomes that with great technique, work ethic and an ability to play the game well.  Kelly is currently being heavily recruited by colleges throughout the United States.  This victory is just another feather in her cap to prepare her for college golf in a few years. 
Below is an article that recaps her accomplishments.
