Next Level U Statement

Other Info:
I feel like my game is consistently getting better each year, with lots of practice and playing situations. I am really excited to see what level I can get to both as a player, and a person, at a post secondary institution with an opportunity to continue my golf career.
The most improved part of my game this year is my putting, since the spring I have dropped my putts per round from 32.4 in the spring to 30.5 in my last 20 rounds.
