Personal Statement

I began playing golf in 8th grade while still involved in baseball. My freshman year, I switched from the baseball team to the golf team a week into the spring season when I realized my passion lay in golf. I was always an average golfer, but once I made the switch, I knew I had to prove to myself and others that I could compete. My freshman year was decent, but I wasn't satisfied with where I was. In the summer of 2023, I competed in golf tournaments for the first time, which was a new and eye-opening experience. Facing tough competition in those tournaments motivated me to strive for improvement.

For the past year, I've trained for golf every day, whether it's on the course, in the gym, or using a simulator. I've focused on getting 1% better every day, and I've enjoyed every step of this journey. Playing college golf is a top priority for me, and I aspire to compete at the highest level against the best players. I have a competitive edge in everything I do, which I believe would make me a great addition to any team as I constantly push myself and others to become the best versions of themselves. Most importantly, I work hard in the classroom to maintain good grades, which I believe will further both my academic and athletic career.
