Personal Statement

I have maintained a 3.0 GPA through my junior year. I picked up my first club at age 3 and never put it down. I put in hours of practice and play every day, even when others dislike the weather. I feel like I am prepared to play better in unfavorable conditions. For example, I placed 1^stin my first conference meet of the year - shooting a 2 under par, 70, in the snow. Last year I had my first hole-in-one - in one of my last high school tournaments of the year. The hole ranged 160 yards, using a knock down 7 iron. I have dropped my average score upwards of 8 strokes every year since my first year on the high school team as an 8^th grader, because of my dedication and passion that I have put into my practicing, tournaments and lessons every year. Volunteer work: Helping with programs at our church summer camp, helping numerous times at Feed My Starving Children, baking cookies for the elderly, making soup for the homeless. I also plan to put on a summer golf camp for less fortunate kids that can’t afford professional lessons this summer at the golf course that I work at. Personally, I have always received compliments both on and off the course for my strong work ethic, positive outlook and drive for success.

Minnesota State Open Qualifier
6/22/16 to 6/22/16
I came into this event knowing it was an important one and that I have had success at this course in the past. After hitting balls on the range, chipping and putting for a while, looking around, I realized that this is one of the best fields I had ever played against. I stayed confident and went through the round like I normally would at any other tournament. I started the day with a stretch of pars and finally got into red figures on hole 4 and then bogied 5, finishing my front 9 at even par. I finally got back in the red on hole 11 and eventually bogied 14. I birdied 15 before I even wrote down the bogey from the last hole. Now I found myself walking down 18, one under par and I knew if I were to par, I would secure a spot in the open. Of course, I make a heart breaking bogey on the last to shoot an even par 72. After waiting for over an hour in the clubhouse to see how the others finished, I was sent to the range to get loose and ready for a playoff against 3 others for one qualifying spot and 2 alternates. As I approached the tee, I see three people that I recognize from past state leaderboards and are now playing high level collegiate golf. As we walk up to the green on the first playoff hole (hole #1) all three of my competitors are within 12 feet for birdie and I am in the rough on the right side of the green. I played the best pitch shot I could have, over a ridge and my ball rolls 10 feet past the hole. A Minnesota state Mankato golfer was first to putt and he left his putt right on the edge of the cup. After a good 3 seconds it dropped, securing the first qualifying spot. The other guys 2 putted for par and that left me and my ten footer. After reading the putt very precisely, I made a great stroke at it and it center cupped for a par! Now we were on the second holes tee box and my playing competitors had hit a 3 wood, so I decide to play it safe playing 4 iron. I was left with a center fairway second shot which I put to about 40 feet. One of my opponents had a 2 footer left for par and the other one had a 40 footer for birdie, but I was first to putt. I knew I had to get the putt close to secure a par, so I gave the putt another great stroke and the double breaking putt center cupped again and came to rest at the bottom of the hole after I gave it a little fist pump and then thanked my playing competitors for the great playoff. I then qualified for the state open as the 1st alternate and was the youngest one in the field to gain a spot!
Camp/Event
Mississippi 8 Conference and Conference Final
5/18/16 to 5/18/16
Both matches were played at Wild Marsh, the first regular conference match I shot a 77 after going triple-double on a 2 hole stretch. Conference final we had to go into the club house because of storms 2 times through out the round. The last time we were called in we stayed in. Everyone had one hole remaining and I would have finished with a 73 if I were to have pared the last.
Camp/Event
Dave Conelly Invitational
5/12/16 to 5/12/16
This tournament was a 3 team stoke play event between Rogers, Elk river and Zimmerman. Starting the day I was 2 over though 5 holes and ended up making the turn at even par. I went onto the back nine with confedence, knowing that my playing compeditor was going into the back nine 3 under par, knowing that I had to make a charge. I played very well on the backside going onto 18 tee at 3 under par and my plaing compeditor 1 over for the side. I ended up with a heart breaking bogey on the last to shot a (-2) 70 sharing medalist honors with my playing compeditor that had just made par on 18.
