How to use division 1 (Golf) student-athlete status to my advantage during my time as a summer analyst

Hi guys, so I am currently a student-athlete at a no-name non-target school (CS and Finance Double Major + Frat). However, I managed to snag a summer analyst position at Morgan Stanley. As a golfer who is ranked 1,900th in the world (including Pros) and consistently shooting under par, how could I use my golfing ability or student-athlete 'selling-point' to increase my odds in getting a return offer or climbing the 'ladder' after I become an analyst? Obviously I wouldn't be hitting the links with MD's... ( a ha ha... jk... unless?)

Didn't you say you were in technology @ MS for the summer in another thread? Golf is more of a thing with senior people in deal closing capacities.

Also, don't be that kid.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
