Who is Ethan Morrow? Google my name and you will find very little other than a few people that happen to share my name and strive athletically or have a long forgotten LinkedIn account. The Ethan Morrow that is writing to you today is a Sixteen year old that is a Senior in high school. Try searching my name with my high school and you will come to the realization that I play golf.
