Corbin Walker '21 Recruiting Profile

I started consistently playing golf three summers ago.  I knew immediately that it was my passion.  Since that time, I have committed myself to improving through practice and regular playing time so that I can play golf at the collegiate level.   

At my high school, 9^th graders are allowed to try out for Varsity, but most play on the 9^th grade team.  I was one of three 9^th graders that tried out and was able to make the JV team as a freshman.  Since trying out for the Varsity team as a freshman, my scores have improved from mid to high 90s to mid to low 70s.  I am continuing to improve, and I believe my improvement is due to my commitment to hard work, practice and learning through videos, reading material and private coaching.  I am a leader both on and off the course and I encourage my fellow team members to strive to do better.  I have a strong knowledge of the game of golf and I am willing to be coached and learn more ways to improve.  

I also work hard in the classroom.  Our high school coach has taught us that education comes before extracurricular activities.  Although I missed nine full days of class for high school golf meets, I have been able to maintain a high GPA and complete my schoolwork.  I enjoy golfing with younger kids to help them improve.  I am also volunteering at my country club junior golf camp this summer and planning to work at the public golf course. 

I am looking to find a college that will meet both my educational and golf goals so that I can succeed in both areas of my life.
