Sohini Pillay '22 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play golf at a school that allows me to improve as a player, grow as a person and expand my academic horizons. I am determined to make this a reality. I have only been playing golf for 4 years, and within that amount of time, showed immense progress. (I reduced my tournament scoring average by 4 strokes in the last year). I refuse to let obstacles such as being a year younger than those in my grade and picking up the game late hold me back. My short game is strong and even though I am not the longest hitter, I am working towards getting stronger and swinging faster.

Being a competitive gymnast from a young age, I learned the value of hard work and time management. I push myself to get better by practicing golf on a daily basis, while still maintaining a healthy academic/athletic balance. Recently, I have been taking lessons from Mike Schy and I have made significant improvements in my swing over the past few months. Overall, I love the game of golf, I am motivated to improve and I am looking for the opportunity to play this game at the collegiate level.
