Lance Christensen...Personal Statement
My main goal has always been to golf in college. I feel as though I am a hard enough worker and I have a great resources and support to where I can make this goal into a reality.
Something I feel that makes me standout from other athletes out there is that... I live in a very isolated area and the nearest golf course is 45 miles away from me. I drive 45 miles one way and 45 miles back. 25 of those miles are on a dirt road. I sometimes have to go around and take a route 1 hour long, because of the rain. I put blood sweat and tears into this sport and I have sacrificed a lot over the years but never have I once EVER thought about Stopping.
Growing up where I have grown up. I definitely learned that golf is a very special thing. it can Change lives for the better and teach you lessons you will never learn anywhere else, meet people you wouldn’t meet. Golf is my passion and I would not know where I would be without it. Golf has never turned its back on me and I’ll never turn my back on it.
Yes I may have a story but, there is a lot of success behind this. I am a conference champion during my sophomore year I am a regional champion and I placed 6th at last year’s state championship. I came back and won the South Dakota State Championship 2019 junior year.
With that being said. I have a very special story. Golf is my passion and I am willing to put my everything into the game of golf.
