Personal Statement

I’ve always strived to be the best at anything I can, whether this is golf, music or academic work. I have come far enough on my golfing journey to know that talent can only take you so far and hard work and dedication is what separates the good players from the elite. With this, I have improved greatly and I am prepared to continue this hard work into the years I will be spending in the US. I’m excited about experiencing new cultures, meeting new friends and travelling while doing something I love. To be able to have the opportunity of experiencing a US college is a rare one and I will certainly not take advantage of it. I know that being part of a team brings out the best of my abilities and I’m looking forward to sharing new experiences as part of it. I love being part of a team and enjoying all the camaraderie that comes with it. My goal is to become a professional but also make the most of this amazing experience.
