Emma Hughes '18 Recruiting Profile

September 2017 Personal Statement
I am not your average recruit because I didn't start playing golf until February of my freshman year (2015). I began playing golf full-time after my sophomore year. Since my first high school season, I have lowered my average score by nearly 40 strokes per round. On most days, driving is one of my strengths, but I continue to work on my short game and putts per round. I work weekly with the golf pro, James Bell at Rose Creek Golf Club. I see myself continuously improving and look for my average scores to be in the mid to lower 70s by next spring.
I desire to play golf in college because I have a passion for competing. I would love to be able to contribute to the success of a team while earning my degree. I am coachable, hardworking, and a supportive teammate. I have come a long way in two and a half years, but am confident I have not reached my full potential.
