Lee Underwood Personal Statement
Thank you for taking the opportunity to read my Statement.
Hello, My name is Lee Underwood. I have been golfing since I was eight years old as well as watching golf since I was a young child. My Uncle was a caddy on the PGA Tour; therefore, I have been exposed to golf and had a strong desire for golf from a young age. From my first stepping on the greens as a young child, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.
I work hard to achieve success, both personally and in athletics. I am an Eagle Scout who earned that prestigious award as a Freshman in High School while maintaining a high GPA in advanced rigor classrooms. I have a high golf IQ, I am a team leader and I try to lead by example. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working golfers as well as being one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.
I have served on over (9) domestic/international mission trips with my church, serving as a local volunteer for civic organizations and am currently a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the golf course. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model for all my peers and make my parents proud.
