Benjamin Etchebarne is exactly the type of person this website has been created for. This site is looking to provide advice and information to those players who are almost done with high school and are looking for further education, along with playing golf at a high level.
Benjamin is from Santiago, Chile. He is 17 years old and has a great future ahead. He has played in one South American Junior Championship and many local events. For the past 2 years he has been competing for the top spots in the junior rankings in Chile.
Right now he is a Junior in High-School and it looks like he is looking forward to College and Golf!
Let's see what he had to say to us:
1-What are you looking for in a school?
I will pay attention that the school is division 1, that it has good academics, has the career I’m looking for, is located in a city that I like, not too cold not too hot, and finally the scholarship will be important in making a decision.
2-How will you prepare for college? Anything special?
I will prepare with my professors, taking classes, playing as many tournaments as I can, and trying to include golf and work outs in my daily routine.
3- What comes to mind for you when you think about college golf?
A unique opportunity, where for sure I will take with me a great experience, an opportunity to get a degree, and the opportunity to meet new people through each tournament.
4-What would you like to experiment in college? What attracts you the most about this new experience?
What attracts me the most is to be able to play golf and at the same time get an academic degree without leaving one on a side. The possibility to give a 100% on both. I would like to see my golf game getting better. I also believe that living by myself will help me mature and become more independent.
