What makes you different?
I am a patient, calm and committed individual. I know how to focus on my game and listen to my mentors advice in terms of improving all the time. I have developed very good course management skills. When playing in a competition I focus on the current shot and never look back when shots do not go as planned. I know I can analyse everything when finished playing and look for improvements and rectify any issues. My motto is that every shot is a new shot and an opportunity to improve on the previous one. My mind-set is that I can’t change my past shots but I can influence my future shots. I am a team player and I gained a significant amount of experience working on team projects during my transition year in school. I also have a great ability to manage time between golf and school work and allow things to happen without getting stressed.

Why do you want to compete in college?
The opportunity of getting to compete at a very high level has been a goal of mine for a long time. Competing at college would really help my game improve and greatly enhance my experience as a golfer and make lifelong friends. It would also give me the opportunity to demonstrate my talents and provide a stepping stone to achieve greater things in life in both sporting and academic fields. Having top class training facilities with very experienced coaches and playing on the most challenging golf courses with and against players of a very high standard would challenge and inspire me to reach my long term goals. I have put a huge amount of time, hard work and dedication into getting to the level I am currently at and I believe I am now ready to take the next step and play at college level. I believe the US college system is excellent in balancing academics and sport and would assist me in achieving my goals.

College Goals
Apart from obtaining a degree, I want to actively participate and contribute to the course in which I will study so that I can achieve the maximum benefit from the college experience and attain the highest possible grades also. I would like to achieve highly both academically and sporting wise. I would like to represent the college at every opportunity possible on the golf team and always make an impact. I would always want to promote the college through my golf and through my study as a means of saying thanks should I be lucky enough to be awarded a college place in the US. I would like to meet new friends, be a good citizen that co-operates and listens to others points of view and experience life in the US as a student athlete. I would also like to get involved in extra-curricular activities as another means of meeting new people and engaging in university life in a different way and possibly encouraging others to join with me. At the end of the day, I just want the university to be proud of me and I will work very hard to achieve that.
