A recent graduate of William Penn this past May with a degree in US Government/Pre-Law and Communications-Public Relations, Rule was a permanent fixture on Penn's varsity golf squad from 2006-2009. He owned a career scoring average of 77.8 over 36 playing rounds, highlighted by a 2008-2009 campaign in which he averaged 76.5 in 11 rounds.

A two-sport athlete at the University, Rule was one of the best soccer players in school history, earning three first-team all-conference awards on the pitch. He was also named Midwest Collegiate Conference Newcomer of the Year as a freshman in 2005.

Learning the game of golf at a young age from his grandfather, the Idaho Falls, Idaho native began working at Sage Lakes Golf Course in high school and over the span of five years, learned invaluable content on the game. In addition to assisting with the operation of the pro shop, Rule helped teach lessons to golfers of all skill levels.

A four-year varsity member at Skyline High School, Rule received his team's Player of the Year laurel as a senior. He has won numerous golf tournaments in his career and participated in the 2008 Idaho State Amateur Tournament.

"I remember thinking to myself when William Penn brought back women's golf that the potential here is incredible," Rule said. "With the facilities that Penn has to offer and with the team of coaches in place, I am confident that we can build this program into a reputable contender each and every season. I am excited to share the knowledge I have learned about golf with the women in our program."

"I am thrilled that Nik will be coaching with me," said Wade Steinlage, Co-Head Women's Golf Coach. "He was a great player for me on the men's side and has a strong desire to win, which I am confident he will instill in our players."

Rule is also the Public Relations Coordinator at Musco Sports Lighting.
