Personal Statement

Follow me on Instagram @chase_walts_golf

I'm a senior, 4-year varsity golfer that's been competing in tournament golf since I was 11 years old. I would love to continue to develop my game in college at the highest possible level. I enjoy being on the range and putting greens and working in the short game area to improve my scores almost as much as being on the course! School is important to me and I know that maintaining a high academic standard will give me the best chance to achieve my golf goals. While I would love to attend a college in the southern US, I'm also open to exploring schools in other areas as I look for my college home. I look forward to experiencing my golf recruiting journey and investigating all the opportunities it may bring.

Camp/Event
Notah Begay National Qualifier
8/29/20 to 8/30/20

Camp/Event
TJGT Lone Star Preview / Notah Begay Junior Championship Qualifier
8/05/20 to 8/06/20
Tied for 2nd place in a field of 46 golfers with a 69 (-3) and 74 (+2), overall 143 (-1). My last 3 competitive rounds are 70, 69, 74, so I'm finding consistency going into my senior year.
Camp/Event
TJGT Prestonwood Hills Classic
7/27/20 to 7/28/20
This is a course that really requires a full practice round in order to be best prepared. Unfortunately, I did not have that opportunity, so I struggled on day one finishing in 23rd place with a 79. Day 2 brought rain, but being more familiar with the layout, I rallied and moved up to a tie for 5th place overall shooting a 2-under 70.
Camp/Event
AGJA Under Armour / Jordan Spieth Championship Qualifier
7/19/20 to 7/19/20
I missed being in the tie-breaker to qualify for the 3-day J.S. Championship tournament by 2 strokes. Although my score was a plus-4, 74 (again), my tee shots were better and I had only 27 putts this round.
Camp/Event
TJGT Elite Finale
7/15/20 to 7/16/20
Had a great start on day one of this event, but then dropped a few strokes on day two to finish 19th overall with a 74-78 (152). Still a few more events to go before school starts to get that "at or below" par score.
Camp/Event
AGJA KJ Choi Foundation Texas Jr Championship Qualifier
7/06/20 to 7/06/20
This was a qualifier to get into the full AGJA event. I shot +4, 76 to finish 18th overall. It was good to get back to a more typical score for me.
Camp/Event
TJGT Independence Elite
7/01/20 to 7/02/20
I definitely struggled at this event. Although I felt like I struck the ball well, the style and narrow layout of the course got the best of me. My putting wasn't as reliable as usual either. I posted a disappointing 83-83. Back to work!
Camp/Event
TGA Texas Junior Amateur Qualifier
6/25/20 to 6/25/20
This was a qualifying event for the Texas Jr Amateur where the top 2 golfers advanced. Unfortunately, I finished 6th overall with a +4, 76 - a solid round, but not strong enough to qualify.
Camp/Event
TJGT Lantana Classic
6/22/20 to 6/23/20
I tied for 10th overall at this rain-shortened event after shooting a +4, 76 on the first day. Unfortunately weather kept us from even starting the 2nd day of play.
Camp/Event
TJGT West Texas Preview
6/15/20 to 6/16/20
This tournament was played at the North & South Abilene Country Club Courses. I finished tied for 28th with a 75 (North Course) and 77 (South Course). I played pretty well, but had a couple of bad holes late each day that kept me from scoring better. My goal for the next tournament is to eliminate or at least reduce those bad holes and get back to par or below.
Camp/Event
Tangle Ridge Summer Blast
6/10/20 to 6/11/20
Overall I shot +9(153). Honestly wasn't supposed to be in this tournament until about three days before it, and it showed. I was not hitting the ball well and had five penalty strokes. It also didn't help that the greens were just punched right before the tournament. What I learned is I have a lot to work on.
Camp/Event
DFW ELITE @ TEXAS RANGERS
6/01/20 to 6/02/20
Another tournament I struggled to score low. Ended up shooting 75-77(+8). This tournament had potential for me to go low but I was not hitting any fairways during the whole tournament which kept me from hitting greens.
Camp/Event
Fort Worth Summer Kickoff
5/27/20 to 5/28/20
Finished tied for 14th at +8(152). With a couple of bad breaks each day I was pretty happy with my overall score, even though on the second day I was -2 with 5 holes to play. Mostly happy to see myself getting more consistent and that my bad rounds are not complete blow ups.
Camp/Event
Bridlewood Spring Blast
5/09/20 to 5/10/20
Tied for 6th with an overall score of 150. After 2 months of no tournaments due to COVID-19, I struggled the first day and carded an 80, but followed it up with a 2-under-par 70 on day two.
