Drake Vance '17 Recruiting Profile

December 2015
July 2016Personal Statement
I have been playing sports since I was four years old. However, I just started playing golf when I was in the 8th grade. I made my first hole in one when I was in the 9th grade. Currently I'm a Senior and shoot in the low- mid 70's. On December 31, 2016, I shot my lowest round ever at Lafortune Park, in Tulsa, shooting a 65. I know that I have to improve to be considered for your team/university. I am willing to put in the work. I have never had a private/swing coach so I know I can improve my game. I am looking for a coach that will motivate me and help me reach my potential not only on the golf course but as a student as well.
As far as my grades, my parents are pretty demanding. My mother has checked my grades weekly for as long as I can remember. I know I have been raised to carry myself in a positive, respectful manner. Given the opportunity, I know I will represent myself, my team and my university as a respectful student /athlete. Thank you for your consideration and hope to hear from you soon.
