March 2019Personal Statement
My dad put a club in my hands at age 2 and I've not put it down since! I love every minute I'm on the course! I love to practice and play but I believe I'm very coachable and take instruction well.
I believe I'm a leader and a hard worker. I earned the rank of Eagle Scout as a 15 year old in Boy Scouts. I help my parents fund my golfing passion by earning money mowing lawns and power washing driveways. I have a dedication to whatever I do with a desire to achieve.
I want to pursue golf in college and focus my studies in Business Administration. The chance to compete in the game I love at the college level has been my goal for many years. I am open to all options and want to find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. My goal is to help the team I'm blessed to be a part of be the best it can possibly be!
