Personal Statement

My name is Jonathan Van Pykstra and I have grown up in Vancouver, Canada majority of my life. I currently attend Vancouver College High School and will be graduating 2025. I was first introduced to the game of golf by my Grandma and was part of a summer camp run by my current golf coach Paul Skrudland. My home course is Marine Drive GC but I work with my golf coach at Musqueam GC to improve on all aspects of my game. In addition to maintaining Presidents honours in school, I aim to use my passion to reach my goal of receiving a golf scholarship. 


I believe that one of my biggest strengths is my love for the process. I am always prepared to grind and find ways to improve my golf game. Futhermore, I am a teammate that is easy to work around and always there for support. Ultimately, showing respect to coaches, teammates, competitors and anyone who I come into contact with is the most important thing to me as I continue to improve in the game of golf.


-Jonathan Van Pykstra
