Personal Statement

I am a high school Senior and working toward my dream of playing competitive college golf. My Father introduced me to the game of golf shortly after I could walk and has been coaching me ever since. I love the game and love the challenge of getting better. Recently, I finished 1st All Conference helping our team advance to NCISAA 4A state playoff at Grandover Resort and Golf Club. We finished 3rd as a team and I was 3rd overall on the individual side, making the All-State team. I'm playing in bigger regional and national venues and working on my game so I can compete with the best. Thanks to some physical growth over the last year or more and some resulting necessary equipment changes, my tournament peers say I'm crushing it. I have spent the summer working on consistency and learning longer and stronger isn't always better. I am beginning to see some high 60s in my practice rounds and look forward to those numbers showing up in tournament golf very soon.

My greatest attributes are not golf-related, however. I would say my goal is to live a life of integrity and make my God, my school and my family proud. Striving for excellence in all areas is very important to me. I work hard at both academics and athletics. I'm a member of the National Honor Society and carry a 4.5 GPA. My Mother is the Guidance Counselor at my high school and has helped me understand the importance of pursuing academic excellence. As my only coach outside of high school, my Father has instilled a love for the game and that honesty is paramount. My parents have taught me that my word means everything and good character always breeds success.
