Tj Wangchuk '27 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coach,

My name is T.J. Wangchuk, and I am writing to express my strong interest in playing golf at the collegiate level and working toward a Division 1 scholarship. Golf has been a cornerstone of my high school experience, and I am excited about the opportunity to compete at the next level and further my development as both a player and a student-athlete in your program.

During my freshman year, I quickly established myself as one of the best players on my high school team, helping lead us through successful seasons and state-level competitions. I was honored as a First Team All-Conference golfer and received the Rookie of the Year award for my performance. These achievements reflect not only my skill on the course but also my leadership qualities. I take pride in organizing team practices, motivating my teammates, and supporting a positive team culture built on sportsmanship and excellence. I believe that golf is as much about character as it is about skill, and I always aim to set an example in both areas.

One of the things that excite me most about playing golf in college is the opportunity to fully dedicate myself to the sport. In high school, I have successfully balanced my golf training with a demanding academic schedule and involvement in other extracurricular activities. For example, I maintain a 3.75 GPA despite the passing of my grandfather, while holding leadership roles such as Senior Patrol Leader in Boy Scouts and competing as a state-level swimmer. Additionally, I have participated in clubs like Model UN and Skills USA, all while volunteering in my community. While I have enjoyed each of these experiences, I recognize that in college, my focus will be more allowing me to dedicate myself entirely to golf. With more time to refine my game, I am confident that I can reach new heights as an athlete and contribute meaningfully to your team’s success.

Beyond my skills and passion for golf, I bring a range of personal qualities that I believe will make me a valuable member of your program. I am known for my positive attitude and strong work ethic, always approaching challenges with a can-do mindset. I am an effective communicator, able to work collaboratively with my teammates and coaches to achieve our goals. Punctuality and dependability are values I take seriously, and I always strive to be someone my team can count on. I make it a priority to be respectful of everyone I interact with—whether it’s on the golf course, in the classroom, or in my community work. Self-discipline and self-control are qualities I have developed through my years of playing competitive golf and participating in Boy Scouts, where I have learned the importance of staying focused, even under pressure. I believe these traits will serve me well in a collegiate golf environment, where teamwork and individual responsibility are key to success.

I am eager to bring these qualities, along with my skills and dedication, to your golf program. I am committed to continually improving and believe that under your guidance, I can reach my full potential as both a golfer and a student-athlete. I am excited about the opportunity to focus even more on my golf game at the collegiate level, and I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my passion, work ethic, and leadership can contribute to your team.

Thank you for considering me for your program. I would love the chance to speak further about how I can be a valuable part of your team and contribute to the success of your program.

Sincerely,
T.J. Wangchuk
