  3. Attributes that will make me a good college student-athlete golfer: I learned the importance of communicating with my teachers to get information about upcoming school work that might be missed due to my golf tournament schedule. I learned to do school work on the road or you will get behind in classes then it is very hard to catch up. Practice everyday you can on the golf course or driving range. Time management  & setting priorities for sports and school.
  4. I will be a good college teammate because:

    I have played for Winning Teams!
    I know the importance of teamwork,  player responsibility to the team, communication, role & importance of each team member,  and team unity.   I have been an important player to successful teams in Softball, Basketball and Golf Teams. I am friendly, likeable and have good personal skills. I feel I have leadership skills and can push and encourage teammates to excel to benefit our team.

  5. I am looking for a university and golf program that: Will allow me to receive the education I need in order to have a career working with animals as a vet. 
    It is important for me to play on a good golf team because it will allow me to improve my golf game by playing with and against the best golfers in college. It is equally important that the team travels because it is fun to play in many locations and new golf courses.
  6. My college goals are: I want to graduate from college and prepare for a career as a vet. Particpate in college as a student athlete.
  7. I am looking for a college golf coach that: I would be excited to play for a golf coach that can get the best performance out of each player.  A coach that can inspire me and my teammates. A coach that has a good understanding of golf. 
  8. The strengths of my golf game are:

    One strength is my passion for the sport which drives me to improve as a golfer. My long drives and accurate iron play are my strengths. I have a good swing. 

  9. The weaknesses of my golf game are: My lack of experience in big tournaments. I need to be more creative in my short game.
  10. I think my golf game will continue to improve because: I am working daily on various parts of the game, mentally and physically.  I am working with Swing Coach Derek Hardy, PGA. I am getting more exposure playing in tournaments. 
Personal Statement
This 2009 summer my goal for golf is to gain tournament experience by playing in a number of multi-day 18 hole tournaments. I have enjoyed playing golf for three years on the San Clemente High School Girl's Varsity Golf Team. I am working hard to make it to the next level  and play for a women's college golf team.  Last year was my first year of playing junior golf tournaments and I realized I needed more experience playing competitive multi-day tournaments and improve my short game skills to improve my golf score.

My coaches, teachers, family and friends encorage me to pursue my dream of playing college golf after I graduate in 2010 from San Clemente High School. Recently, I had the opportunity to watch the 2009 UCI Anteater Invitational in Dove Canyon, California and I know I have the potential to play with players at the college level and see myself out there playing for a college team.  I have experience in competition and teamwork from playing other sports such as Tae Kwon Do, Basketball, and Softball.  I left my other sports to focus my time on golf becuase I enjoy playing and have a passion for golf. I have been working hard to improve my skills and competitive golf experience. I know that my past sports experience, recent tournament experience and training with Mr. Derek Hardy, PGA swing instuctor, will help me bring my game to the next competitive level preparing me play on a Women's College Golf Team.
