Personal Statement

My goal is to play golf at the college level so I can continue to improve and become the best golfer I can possible be. I didn't start playing golf until march of my 8th grade year. Ever since then golf has been an integral part of my life. I have taken it very seriously and have a drive to constantly keep improving while still keeping a love for the game. During my summer before Freshman year I had trouble breaking 90, I didn't start playing out of school tournaments until my summer before sophomore year and averaged around 86, my handicap was an 11 now after one year my handicap dropped to a 1.7 and tournament scoring average down to a 76. I was a captain of my Varsity Golf Team as a sophomore and will most likely be captain for my junior and senior year. My scores are not anything super impressive right now but I am dedicated to working as hard as I can to become one of the best. That is what separates me from other recruits.
