My name is Tim Kraft and I am a senior in the Marquette Evans Scholar chapter currently. I have been a caddy at Cog Hill for seven years and have worked for ABC during the Western Open (now BMW) in years past. I will be graduating with a degree in Journalism from the Diedrich College of Communication here at Marquette. I am extremely interested in the internship position and will be submitting my resume and letter of interest very soon. Thanks!
