About Athlete
I’ve grown up around golf my entire life as both my parents are professional golfers I started to play occasionally when I was 6 but when I got to 10 years old I started to play a lot more frequently I eventually dropped my other sports at 13 to put my focus into golf since then I have played and practiced at least 4 days a week. My Dad has always been my coach because we work well together. My Mum’s experience as a tour player has been invaluable in my outlook on golf and how hard I need to work to achieve my goals.
I’m looking for a college where I can learn to play to my full potential and become part of a strong team. It is very important that my future college fits me perfectly so I can push to become better at my academics and succeed all round. I believe I have what it takes to be a great player and a member of your team.

What makes you different?
What makes me different is that I have the drive and determination to become the best player I can be. I am also great at being in a team as I enjoy leading but also listening. I feel I'm slightly different to most players these days as I have a very good short game as well as being able to hit the ball a decent distance of the tee.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I want to compete in college because I feel it is the best form of amateur golf available and the greatest way to push my game.
College Goals?
In college I want to not only make leaps with my golf but work hard to make sure my academics are there to back me.
Anything else we should know?
I’m a good footballer as I played for a division 1 team for 8 years. I also still follow my local team Bristol City where I have a season ticket and go to most games.
Education
Wise College of Sport
I am studying Business as my academic, while also competing in the college 1st team.
