After not receiving many offers from the big-name schools, Austin Kendziorski created a unique plan to circulate his name around the nation: He stepped away from school for one year after graduation to focus on golf. He participated in tournaments, practiced daily and sent hundreds of emails to various coaches, all in an effort to get a bigger and better offer.
Marquette head golf coach Steve Bailey was already familiar with Kendziorski, having watched him three times during senior year. He received some of those emails and decided to watch him again over the summer, which eventually led to a scholarship offer.
