Personal Statement

I want to represent my school as a golfer and a student. I am a good candidate as I have a very positive and supportive attitude. I like to encourage my team mates to enjoy playing golf as well as playing well. I am a good student and have a good work ethic.

As a student I am planning of doing business finance or engineering or something with math.

As a golfer, I want to be recognized for my creativity and imagination and the wide range of shots I can create. I want to travel the world and play on the different golf courses in different climates and meet fellow golfers. I have a passion for golf as I love to be outdoors and solving the design problems and the green variations. I love to see the way courses integrate with the land and love the challenge of playing against the course and my friends and teammates.
