Deja-Lyn Pulido '16 Recruiting Profile

First and foremost, my collegiate aspiration is to play with a team. My high school unfortunately does not have a girls golf team - I am the team. I believe I can be a great candidate for any collegiate team because of my integrity and dedication to the game of golf. My parents instilled in me at a very young age that school is the first priority. I was fortunate to be given the choice to either have a "normal childhood" or to put my total dedication into school and golf.

I am a realist. I would say that alone makes me different. Academics and golf have been my priority since my 8th grade year. I know I am not " Einstein" or 'Michelle Wei" but I do believe that a lot of hard work, dedication, and mental toughness can elevate my game (academically and athletically). Like any young golfer, I struggle with the mental aspects of the game but know that I have come a long way.

As I begin my senior year, I look forward to finishing off my senior year strong - academically and athletically. I believe I am more driven than ever to excel. I know I will have to work extra hard on my game - both physically and mentally. Lastly, my goal is to consistently shoot in the 70s before the end of the year. Please visit the EVENTS tab on my profile. If you are in the area, I invite you to watch one of my rounds.
