Personal Statement

My name is Sam Wagner and I am going to be a senior at Pentwater High School this coming fall. I have maintained a 3.99 grade point average throughout high school and recently scored a 29 on my ACT. I am the president of our student council, a member of the National Honors Society, and have lots of other extracurricular credentials. I am very passionate about golf and would like to continue playing as I transition from high school to college. I have qualified for the state golf tournament 3 times thus far in my career and took second overall this past year. I shot a two day score of 151 playing at Bedford Valley Golf Course, but felt that I had lots of room for improvement. Other then a little help from my parents and high school golf coach, I am a self-taught golfer. I golf on a daily basis on my own, and I frequently drive myself to Lansing to play in golf tournaments very early in the morning, while making it back in time to work at 3:00 PM. I’m extremely passionate about golf, and I’m striving to keep improving my game. I work very hard to achieve my goals, and a particular goal of mine is to play golf at the collegiate level and help the team improve from their most recent season.
