Optimist Warm Up

Personal Statement

Goals in life: Playing at a high collegiate level at a school that I enjoy and one with a good, helpful environment.

I aspire to hopefully turn my passion for golf into a career after college.

I am a good candidate and teammate because I work really well with others and I rarely get angry or flustered. I always do my best to keep a positive mindset about life and golf.

I think what separates me is my pure passion for golf. It’s always enjoyable, even when I'm not playing my best.
