Personal Statement

I started golfing at a very young age. I learned very quickly that golf is not easy, and that it takes a lot of time an effort to move forward to advance your game. As my game and I grew, I learned that golf is not only a physically challenging game, but also a mentally challenging game. When I started playing in tournaments, I noticed that when an opponent would make a mistake, or have a tough hole, that they would just fall apart and never bounce back after they had been playing well. And I also saw this in myself. So I took it upon myself to not only work on my swing, but also to trust in that swing. Since then my game has improved drastically, and I keep improving everyday. I hope that the videos on my profile will show coaches that I can hit the shots and that I am a very competitive player.
