Earlier this summer, he made the decision to attend DePauw University in Greencastle to pursue a degree in economics and play for the university’s men’s golf team. McGuinness is the sixth recent FCHS graduate to play collegiately. Franklin Golfer Heads to DePauw University By Mike May Damon Dickey, Quin Edwards, Ellie Beavins, Liv Parramore and Ava Ray have all joined the college golf ranks. Legends Golf Club General Manager Ted Bishop, who also coaches the FCHS golf team alongside Legends Golf Club Head Professional Crystal Morse, is extremely proud of the academic and athletic growth shown by McGuinness. “Will McGuinness and I started this golf journey three years ago,” said Bishop. “He epitomizes perseverance, tenacity, hard work and resilience. Will has improved more than any student I have had in 46 years of being a golf professional. For me personally, there are none more gratifying than Will McGuinness.” Bishop agrees that McGuinness, who has a six handicap, is an ideal fit for DePauw University. “Will has a 4.33 GPA and an SAT score of 1540 and has aspirations of getting into politics,” added Bishop.
