Drake Jones '17 Recruiting Profile

 My first and most important goal is to keep my grades up and graduate college. Next, I wish to grow as a person through perseverance and hard work by learning how to manage my classes and actively participate in a sport. My aspirations for college golf are to play in every match over my four years.   My only scoring goal is to positively contribute to the team by posting low numbers in tough situations and winning matches at key moments. 

                I feel I make a good candidate for the team because I am different than other recruits in my character. I am, and will always be, an incredibly hard worker. I am willing to spend late nights and long days practicing and studying because I believe nothing can be accomplished without hard work. I am also a team player and get along with practically anyone. I am a versatile player who will play any spot necessary to benefit the team. A part of my skill set that sets me apart from other recruits is my approach shots. No matter the lie or location of the shot, I feel confident in my irons and wedges to produce a good shot. My sharp approach shot also leads of birdie opportunities. I average about 4 birdies a round, and occasionally, I can execute seven or eight birdies in a day. I am a student first, an am committed to graduating college with a biology degree. I have a YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDvs4Lkwle7SjWMVEEyzbEA?spfreload=10 ) containing face on and down the line videos of my driver and 6 iron swing. I feel I make a good candidate for the team because I am different from other recruits.
