With grit and determination, I am aiming to play golf in college.
My name is Ronald Deramus, and I am finishing my junior year at Idabel High School, located in southeastern Oklahoma. I have been an athlete nearly all my life, playing on school football and basketball teams. Until my freshman year, I had only played golf occasionally with my dad, and at local summer tournaments. I found that I really enjoyed it, and I can play it as an individual and with a team. Since then, I have poured all my time and energy into learning and practicing. I am the first bag on my team, medaled 4 times in Spring 2024 tournaments, and earned the MVP award at school. I played last fall in 4 NTPGA medalist tournaments where I finished in the top 10 three times, with two of those being 4th place finishes.
I am liked by my teachers and stay out of trouble. I have maintained a 3.2 gpa. I am a very trustworthy person, and have been raised to know that dreams are achieved by working hard and believing in myself. Just like the club elders have helped me improve my game, I work with the younger players during the summer improve their game and encourage them to play competitively.
When I graduate in 2026, I want to play college golf, in Oklahoma or out of state. Currently, I plan to study business and am looking into career opportunities in the golf industry.
