STPGA Prestige To...Personal Statement
Hello! First off, thank you so much for considering me for your team! I believe I would be a great candidate for college golf because of how long I have been playing the game and how committed I am to becoming a better golfer and person in general. When I am not playing in high school golf tournaments, I am playing in STPGA (Southern Texas PGA) Junior tournaments. Usually, I play in around 8 or 9 per year. In addition to playing golf frequently, I volunteer at golf events as well. For example, I volunteered as a marshal as the 2020 U.S. Women's Open in Houston, TX. In addition to golf, academics is something that is extremely important to me. I strive for all A-Honor roll every year and have achieved that goal in my time in grade school. I am currently a senior in high school and have been working extremely hard (just about everyday) to improve my golf game.
My current goals for 2022 are to bring my competition score average to below 80 and shoot a competitive round under par.
Thank you so much for your consideration and time!

Events
- Camp/Event
- District Championship
- 3/21/23 to 3/22/23
- Yardage: 5724 Slope: 134. Shot 91-87. It was raining and very windy both days, but overall my golf game wasn’t very good. Best part of my game was driver.
- Camp/Event
- Victoria Invitational
- 3/03/23 to 3/04/23
- Shot 83-84 on two different courses to place 10th out of 65. Played a little over average, but given that I’ve never seen one of the courses before and was getting over COVID, I didn’t play bad at all! Driver was great, short game/irons could have been better, putter was pretty good, except so many par/birdie attempts kept lipping out! While I may not have played my best golf, I still enjoyed the event!
- Camp/Event
- Marble Falls Classic
- 2/03/23 to 2/04/23
- Shot 85-80 on two different courses to place 3rd out of 69 golfers! Giving the tough course conditions I played pretty well and had a lot of good takeaways!
- Camp/Event
- STPGA Fall Championship
- 12/10/22 to 12/11/22
- Shot 79-83 on a course I’ve never played before (par 71, 5631 yards)! Ended up taking 4th out of some of the strongest golfers in Southern Texas! I earned an invitation to this event by being ranked 1st in the Austin metro and 5th in all of Southern Texas. Battled some tough conditions (heavy rain before day 2) but played well!
- Camp/Event
- STPGA Junior Tour
- 8/01/22 to 8/01/22
- Yardage: 5700 Slope: 139 This was my first time ever playing this course and it was pretty tough. Ended up with 88 to take 3rd out of 18. Overall, ball striking with my longer clubs was pretty good, but putter could have been better. Although I didn't play my best, I enjoyed playing at that course and will be back!
- Camp/Event
- AJGA GreatLife Challenge
- 7/18/22 to 7/20/22
- Shot 83 in the qualifier and 89, 83 in rounds 1 and 2. It was very windy for all three days but ball striking was pretty good for most of the tournament! Putter could have been better though. We played from the blue tees (Yardage: 5957 Par: 71)

- 2/18/22 to 2/19/22
- Day 1 at Lighthouse: 89 Day 2 at Hidden Falls: 82 for 171 total. Got 2nd place. Lighthouse was in really bad shape as the fairways and greens were hard and rocky. My long game was good for the conditions, but my short game wasn't great. Hidden Falls was in great shape and my short game was working pretty well. Long irons could have been slightly better, but this round was good for a tough course!

- This tournament was an Invitational, the top 7 girls from the Austin metro got invited (I finished ranked 5th). Day one was good, scored 83 from 5700 yards. Felt physically off on day two, but decided to play anyways and take more risky shots than I would normally play (ones I never play or get the chance to practice). Ended up with 94 on day two.
- Camp/Event

- 4th school tournament of 2020-21 season. Shot 87 (front nine 39, back nine 48) at Hidden Falls. 50 (on 9) on Lakecliff. At Lakecliff, bunker game caused a lot of issues. Drive was off as well. First 9 hole score in the 30s ever! Everything was pretty good, had a couple drives that went a little too far right, putter was on, wedges were decent, and irons were great at Hidden Falls! Need to do work on the wedges a little at range.
- Camp/Event
- STPGA Junior Tour

- Camp/Event
- STPGA Junior Tour
- Score: 97 Slope: 133 Yardage: 5600 Definitely not a very good day, as I couldn't hit my irons very well all day. However my putter and wedges were working pretty well, and driver wasn't bad either. This was also my first time seeing the course. Not a good round, but I have things to improve on so I can be better later on!
- Camp/Event
- STPGA Junior Tour
- Not the best day. Shot 90 from a little under 6000 yards. That course was tough too! My long distance wedge game was probably the best part of my game that day, as well as bunker game as I got up and down from both bunkers I hit in to.
- Camp/Event

- Texan Invitational
- Shot 85 and placed 3rd out of 59 girls. For no warm-up and never seeing the course before, I played very well with the exception of some 3 putts here and there.
- Camp/Event
- STPGA Junior Tour
- Score: 90 (5th of 16 girls). Course played really long (probably around 6100 or 6200). Irons were working perfectly, driver accuracy was good, distance could have been better, lag putting was great but had a few missed opportunities up close to the pin, wedges needed some work.
- Camp/Event
- STPGA Junior Tour
- Shot 105. Course was the hardest course I have played in a really long time. Pin placements were in difficult spots (plus I could putt well at all). Fairways and rough were in poor shape. Irons were off all day. However, I was driving the ball alright and my wedges were on fire! It was really windy (over 22mph all day) and I definitely could have lowered my score a lot if the putter was working. Need to practice a lot more pressure putts and putts within 6 feet with a lot of brake.
