Harper Szpur '26 Recruiting Profile

Golf has been a passion of mine since I first picked up a club at age twelve at First Tee. Two years ago, I switched from righty to lefty, recognizing my natural left-handed ability. My primary goal on the golf course is to become the best player I can be. This involves improving my swing, enhancing my physical fitness, building mental toughness, and developing strategic thinking. I aim to consistently perform well in state and national junior tournaments to gain valuable experience and exposure.

To achieve these goals, I follow a rigorous training schedule. This includes regular practice sessions, working with my coach, collaborating with a personal trainer, and participating in local tournaments to build confidence and competitive spirit. I aspire to play golf at the collegiate level, hoping to earn a scholarship to a university with a strong golf program. Ultimately, my dream is to compete professionally on the LPGA Tour.

Off the golf course, I am equally committed to my academics and personal development. Striving for a high GPA is essential, particularly in my favorite subject, English. Excelling in my studies prepares me for the challenges of college and supports my long-term career aspirations.

Community service is another important aspect of my life. I plan to volunteer with local youth programs to teach kids the basics of golf, making the sport more accessible and inspiring the next generation of golfers. Additionally, I seek to develop my leadership skills by teaching younger golfers not only the skills but the life lessons of golf. Taking on leadership roles in projects and events allows me to make a positive impact and build skills that are valuable in all areas of life.

Balancing my goals requires effective time management and a strong support system. My family, friends, and coaches play crucial roles in helping me stay focused and motivated. By setting high standards for myself both on and off the course, I am preparing for a future where I can achieve my dreams, whether in professional golf or beyond.
