Personal Statement
After many years of playing various sports, such as Soccer, Cricket, Hockey and of course Golf, I have decided that I would very much like to pursue my talent for golf within the US collegiate system as part of a successful team with great camaraderie.
For many years people have said I should pursue my golf, that I have a great temperament for the game (my dad says he can never tell if I’m playing well or poorly when watching me, as my demeanour never changes!) and I have a great swing. Indeed recently my golf coach commented that I could have pursued a professional golf career had I put my mind to it.
It is comments like this that have made me realise that I should commit 100% to my golf and see how far I can take it. I believe that although this may be late on at 20 years old, it also means I come with fresh outlook and fully ready to put 100% of my energy into improving.
Over the years I have also been lucky enough to play golf around various parts of the world, from UK, Spain, Dubai and even China. This has showed me a variety of courses and weather types, all great golfing experience.
I believe it is also an asset coming to college a little later at 20 years of age, as I’ve finished my school education gaining a good set of academic grades and then have had experience within the work place for the last 2 years, allowing me to save money ready for college. This i think enables me to bring a greater level of maturity.
