WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Two highly-touted high school seniors have signed men's golf letters of intent to play at Wake Forest beginning in 2006-07, Demon Deacon head coach Jerry Haas announced today.
Brendan Gielow of Muskegon (MI) Mona Shores High School and Travis Wadkins of Dallas (TX) Trinity Christian Academy will both come to Wake Forest with an impressive list of credentials.
Gielow is the two-time Michigan High School Mr. Golf (state player of the year). He is a four-time selection to the Michigan High School Coaches' "Super Team," which is comprised of the top eight prep golfers in the state. Gielow is the only player to ever earn that honor four times.
A qualifier for the United States Amateur in 2005, Gielow won the AJGA Canadian Junior championship in 2004. Gielow owns a high school career scoring average of 70 and he is 32-under par for the current season. He is the son of Eric and Renea Gielow.
Wadkins is the son of former Wake Forest All-American, WFU Hall of Fame member and current PGA pro standout Lanny Wadkins. The younger Wadkins, an honor roll student at Trinity Christian Academy, shot a career-low of 65 in 2005. He finished fourth in the Texas state high school championship in 2004.
Wadkins, who is passionate about the game and excited to follow in his father's footsteps, is the son of Lanny and Peni Wadkins.
