Reese Richardson '27 Recruiting Profile

I fell in love with golf at the age of 11.  No one in my family played. I just decided one day that I would love to give it a try.  I have pushed myself daily since that day.  I have played on the varsity team at my high school since the 7th grade.  I made it to state all years, including once as an individual.  This year, my sophomore year I tied my school's individual scoring record at our Region tournament with a score of 68.   Our team secured our very first region title in Girl's golf.  I have been competing in SCJGA, PKB and CGA tournaments since I was 12.  I am currently ranked 23 in the state of SC.  This year, I lost my sister to breast cancer.  She was 23 and special needs.  For most of her life, almost everything she did was a challenge for her.  I've watched her push through and do everything she could to do normal things. She became a cheerleader. She competed in the special Olympics, and she was voted Homecoming Queen.  She has inspired my game so much.  My drive and determination 100% comes from her.  The thing I admire most about her was that absolutely nothing was ever out of reach.  I go to the course almost daily to work on my goals.  I believe goals define you as a person and without them we lack purpose.  I want to play at the collegiate level. I would love to find a program that is successful, hard-working, active in the golf community, and has a family environment.  I also sing and compete at the county and state level in music and maintain and All-A average.  I am active in my church and school and with A night to shine which is the special needs prom promoted by the Tim Tebow foundation.    I love the discipline, the work ethic, the respect, the friendships and the community that golf has brought to my life.  I honestly hope that I will be playing the rest of my life! I truly love the game.  I am forever grateful for the experiences and joy that competing in this sport has brough to my life.  I am outgoing and fun and would be a great asset to ladies team!
