June 2012Personal Statement
Every since I was little I have had a golf club in my hands. My grandfather never played professionally but in his prime he played against one of the best, Arnold Palmer while in college. He along with my dad inspired me to pursue this game and I was hooked. I now dream of one day being on the PGA tour and living the dream that my grandfather and even my dad were never able to accomplish. I have learned my hard work ethic from both of them and continue to pour as much time and energy as I can into my game. I want to be the best and eventually beat the best. Even if I don't get the opportunity to play this game professionally, I do want to be around it and that is why I have chosen the field of Sports Management. l love sports and feel passionate about making it a long term career. If given a chance to play collegiate golf, I know whatever college decides to bring me on will see this passion and work ethic first hand. I love this game and want to have the opportunity to experience it on a college level.
