February 2023Personal Statement
Hi, My name is Kola Abudu and I've played golf ever since I could walk but started playing it competitively since I was 12. My goal is to become a civil engineer like my dad and brother and I wouldn't mind a scholarship to be able to play golf and study my major. I think what makes me a good candidate is that I am a hard worker and through all the ups and downs I will never give up. I have a 4.33 gpa, I play football and basketball, I love to help out and volunteer from golf tournaments to helping the people in need, and I recently picked up a new hobby of playing chess.

- 68-76 T5 Played really well both days but the difference was the conditions. The second day was raining hard on and off especially for the people with later rounds the cold, wind, and rain was a big challenge especially in the back nine. I was able to hit the ball well just couldn't make any putts in the 2nd round and only having one birdie and playing in hurricane-like weather the final 3 holes. It felt like I played just as well as the 1st round but overall great tournament and a great way to finish going into next year with an even par 144 and top 5 for the weekend.

- 75-77 Didn't go as I hoped with not making any putts the whole week really and just a bad stretch of bogeys both days and too many 3 putts, but overall good to see even in the offseason and playing basketball not being able to practice a ton that I can still compete and play decent golf.

- 1st AJGA of the spring and the 1st day got cancelled due to 30-40 mph wind and the whole course being casual water from the thunderstorm last night, but the 2nd round was still windy and wet and being a links course the wind affected a lot of shots. Played pretty well and shot 76 but 4 three putts and one 4 ft miss for birdie put me out of winning some hardware, but overall good week
