Ally Zelkowitz '22 Recruiting Profile

    Hello, my name is Ally Zelkowitz. I live in North Miami Beach, Florida, which is located in Miami Dade county. I'm currently in my Sophomore year at University School of Nova Southeastern, a college preparatory high school located on the college campus in Davie, Florida.  My cumulative unweighted GPA so far this year is 3.8. I'm academically strong and have learned how to manage my time between school and golf. At this time I'm enrolled in two honor classes. I have also been involved in Maccabi Tzair which is a youth Zionist organization that teaches the pillars of Judaism to children ages 3-18. Where every Saturday I volunteer at the Jewish Community Center and play fun games that educate those younger than me on the importance of religion and why it is so important.  

My goal is to attend a college where I can continue my education, enjoy the experience of playing competitive team golf, and contribute as a person to both the school and its athletic program. I cannot wait for the opportunity to display my passion for the game while playing successfully at the collegiate level. What I believe makes me different from others is that I have a drive every day to improve as a person and a golfer. I have a sense of reality and understand my capabilities level of play. I'm interested in the right fit and continue to work hard and stay focused on improving in order to achieve my goals. Athletically I am strong. I have participated in various sports besides golf, including flag football, jump rope, and soccer.  In addition to my golf, I strength train 2-4 times a week and add yoga and pilates to my routine as part of my training and overall health. Golf is my game. I have been successfully playing junior tournaments year-round for ten years and have been a member of our high school team since enrolling at University school in my sophomore year. 

This summer I will continue to travel outside Florida when possible to play and compete on different course conditions. My game is continually improving and developing consistency. I take lessons twice a week and made a swing change from which I have seen the improvements in distance off the tee, mid fairways  and I continue to work on my deficiencies. I expect to be competing at an even higher level as I approach my junior year of 2020-21. I’m confident that I will be a top competitor and exceptional teammate and student to whatever program I have the opportunity to represent.
