Greetings!!

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile and considering me to be an integral part of your golf program.   My collegiate goals and aspirations are many.  I would love to be afforded the opportunity to enter a collegiate program, where I can acquire a bachelor's degree in any biological or health science that would assist me in pursuing a medical career as a Dentist or Anesthesiologist.  I do have Marketing as a secondary degree option.  There were some very impactful tragedies that occurred in my life that has directed me to this path.  

Additionally, there are many under-served and disenfranchised individuals that, I believe, can be served in a great way, and I intend to answer the call in this area as well. However, my first career choice is to be a Professional Golfer on the LPGA tour.

I was introduced to the game by my father, who bought me my first toy golf set.   At the age of seven, I became  member of The First Tee.  I was a member for quite some time.  I also am a member of the South Texas PGA and the AJGA.  I am a multi-sport athlete, having played Volleyball, Basketball, and Track/Field.  Being a student-athlete, I have learned how to stay internally motivated and self-driven.  I have many goals that I would like to achieve in golf.  I am striving to lead our team to state this year.  I want to win college conference championships, I want to annually compete for national titles, with aspirations of turning pro thereafter.

From a metrics perspective, my distances are as follows:  Driver: 255 yards ; 3 Wood 195 yards; 5-Hybrid 185 yards; 8- Iron 130 yards; Pitching Wedge 125; Sand Wedge 80 yards.    As an aside, Golf has been a sport that has provided a healthy and productive outlet when life did not go so well.  My grandmother passed away after a lengthy illness caused by doctor malpractice.  It was a total shock and rocked our family immensely.   This also coincided with a school transfer from Humble Christian School (private), to Atascocita High School (public).  But coming from a faith-based household, and having the outlet of golf, things are very much on the right track and I will graduate with above a 3.1 GPA.     

I am certain that you will not have a recruit that is as well-rounded as I am.  I volunteer heavily in the community, and I am also a gifted singer.  Many of my Sundays find me bringing joy to people by singing.   I believe I have yet to peak and believe that I am about to come into my own.  I am very excited of what my skill set will yield.    

I look forward to communicating and visiting with you soon.  I am in high anticipation of what I will do for your program.  

All the best,

Sydney A. Barnum
