Personal Statement
I am very interested in playing golf at the college level because I love to compete. I started playing with my dad at the age of 5 and have loved the game ever since. I enjoy the teamwork that comes with playing on my high school’s golf team. My teammates and I not only play together in our matches but throughout the offseason and have a lot of fun.
I also like that golf is not only a physical game but a mental game as well. A lot of times, you feel like you are playing against yourself. I have learned from playing in matches and tournaments to not let one bad shot turn into two or three.
I am a hard worker on and off the course. I’ve learned from playing football that you need to outwork your opponent in order to succeed. In the classroom, I apply the same work ethic. Balancing school and playing three sports has taught me the value of time management. I am still unsure what I wish to study in college, however I intend to apply the same work ethic then as I do now.
