I believe that I have the work ethic to out compete my peers. I am extremely determined and motivated to reach my dreams and I will not stop until I get there. Moreover, I show responsibility and maturity both on and off the golf course. This helps me to plot my way around tough golf courses in order to win tournaments. Furthermore, I believe I am different to others as I can learn new techniques quickly and apply them to my game almost instantly.
I strongly believe that college is by far the best way to work towards my sporting dreams whilst also continuing with a high level of academic study. Furthermore, the experience and skills I will learn over this period will be absolutely invaluable in helping me to succeed as an individual in life. Playing as a team is something that I have, luckily, experienced a lot in my childhood through other sports. It is safe to say there is no better feeling than to be a part of something great. College golf for me is an opportunity from heaven and to be able to compete week in week out with some of the best players in the world would be life-changing.
My goal for college is to enjoy my academic study whilst competing as a vital part of the college team. Furthermore, I hope to develop my golf game and learn more about how to compete successfully under pressure. Another one of my goals will be to win college tournaments as both a team and individually.
My goals in life are to travel the world, meet new people, see new things and make the most of absolutely every opportunity ahead of me. I have short-term aspirations to represent my country at junior level and I believe this is well within my reach. Ultimately, I want to become the best golfer in the world.
I believe that college golf is a necessary path for me to take in order to fulfill my dreams. A scholarship opportunity would be a perfect way to combine both of these aspects. Moreover, I feel that my work ethic and determination will allow me to succeed if I was given the opportunity.
