Personal Statement

Hello coaches, my name is Mason Smyser. My collegiate goals are to be a D1 golfer on scholarship, but my dreams are to be a professional golfer. I never hesitate to try and help teammates when they have problems, whether it’s with school or golf. My favorite thing to do is work on my golf game because I want it to be the best it can be. I also just work hard at anything I do which is also why I get good grades. Thank you for your time! I look forward to talking with you!
