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.
My main priority at the moment is my putting, putting has been the worst part of my game this season. I’ve been hitting lots of greens and fairways so once my putting gets better I’ll be making lots of birdies. Also throughout the season I’m doing golf specific workouts with my coach to improve my golf swing.
