Personal Statement

I would like to play Division 1 college golf for both the competition and the experience. I know I have the ability to play division 1. I've played with many kids who are going division 1 and I hung right in there with them and even beat them. I'm not a long hitter, I'm not a real big guy but I rely on my iron game and especially my wedge game. Like a Zach Johnson or Luke Donald. I practice hard and practice with a purpose. I work at Oak Shadows Golf Club so I have access to plenty of practice. I have a great instructor out at Oak Shadows, Craig Mcconnell. I'd make a good candidate for a college team because I'm a positive player, a smart player who doesn't make many mistakes and I've only been playing for 5 years so I have a lot more to learn and the chance to really improve my game. I'm different from the other guys once again for my importance on the short game, my positive and laid back attitude and my confidence. I don't like to show emotion on the golf course, anger or excitement. I don't see any reason to get angry, and I don't see a reason to fist pump because I'm expecting the ball to drop every putt. I also take school very seriously. I'm an honors student with a 3.7 gpa and I'm a member of the National Honor Society.I got a 25 on my ACT and I'm working on getting a better score. I know I have the ability to become a great college golfer and to even have this experience typing this letter is very exciting.

Events

Camp/Event
D-2 District
9/30/14 to 9/30/14
I shot 74 and missed the state tournament by 2. I played good all day with 15 pars and I putted very well on large greens. On my 8th hole, I moved my ball mark for another kid in my group and after my two playing competitors played out, I forgot to replace my mark and the kid never reminded me about it. He asked me on the next tee if I replaced it and I said no I completely forgot. If i lie and say yes, I get in a playoff for the last spot in the state tournament. So I think owning up to that says a lot about my character and sportsmanship.
Camp/Event
D-2 Sectional
9/23/14 to 9/23/14
I didn't play very well. I played my last three holes in four over par and shot 80. It was my worst 18 hole round of the season however I qualified for the District Tournament.
Camp/Event

9/20/14 to 9/20/14
I shot 71 (-1) and was the tournament medalist out of 120 kids. I hit 15/18 greens and I was hitting the ball great all day. I would have liked to drop a few more putts but it was a solid day with only one bogey. We finished 4th as a team shooting 324.
Camp/Event

Camp/Event

9/17/14 to 9/17/14
I shot 74, 38-36. It was a good ball striking day hitting 13/18 greens however I couldn't get the birdies to fall. 33 putts today was rough. I was named player of the year after shooting a combined score of 221(+5) and won the individual aspect by 6 shots.
Camp/Event
High School Match
9/09/14 to 9/09/14
High School match against our conference rival. we lost 156-155. I hit the ball fairly well. I hit 7/9 greens in regulation, 3/7 fairways and was 2/2 in scrambling. I birdied my first two holes and bogeyed my 7th due to a three putt. Overall it was a good ball striking day but a little disappointing with the putter with 15 putts.
Camp/Event
Dover Invitational
8/30/14 to 8/30/14

7/25/14 to 7/27/14
I shot 79-80-77 on some tough golf courses. I missed the cut by 8 shots. I didn't play my best golf any of the three days but it was such a great experience to be there play a new type of golf. It was a lot of fun and a huge experience for my golf game.
Camp/Event
The Hudson Junior Invitational
6/10/14 to 6/12/14
I shot 72,73 and was in the next to last group on the final day. I learned a lot on that final day. I was paying way too much attention to the group behind me and I freaked myself out. I shot 80 and took myself out of the tournament. I finished T-14. It was a great experience because it showed that I could keep up with the best junior golfers in the country.
Camp/Event
The Optimist Pre Qualifier
5/10/14 to 5/10/14

Camp/Event
Hurricane Junior Golf Tour- Cleveland Jr. Open
4/19/14 to 4/20/14
I shot 73(+3) the first day and was co leader. I started day two off rough, was plus 5 through four holes but fought back and played one under my next 13 holes. I shot 74 and was tied with the kid I co-lead with all day. We went into a playoff and I won the first playoff hole.
Camp/Event
The Optimist District Qualifier
I had to shoot (+6) or better to qualify. I shot (+6) on my front 9. Then I made the turn and shot 1 under to solidify my spot in The Optimist International. It was a very stressful day on the golf course.
