Spring 2022Personal Statement
Hey coaches! I’ve been playing golf since I was 2 years old. My mom got me into the game, she played golf at the University of Nebraska. My goals for college are to be a part of a college team with a good team atmosphere and culture. I also want to get a quality education. Something that makes me a good candidate is that I am very coachable, I’m a leader, and I thrive in competition. I’m different because I will be the hardest worker on and off the course. That is always my biggest goal: outwork my competition.
