  5. I am looking for a university and golf program that:
    not only provides the best education but has great school spirit and pride. I want to be proud of where I attend and be happy with the women's college golf team.

    to dominate on the women's golf team and graduate with honors.

  8. The strengths of my golf game are:
    my great putting, ball striking, and ability to read the greens. I also fight for the win and never give up.
  9. The weaknesses of my golf game are:
    at times I think I can pull every shot off when I need to play it safe and apply better course management.
  10. I think my golf game will continue to improve because:

    I'm willing to work harder every year to achieve the results needed for success.

Personal Statement
I have a handicap index of about 3 and a scrach player on my home course. I love reading, going to the beach, and of course golfing. I love my family and friends and cannot wait to play college golf.
