Why do you want to play US College golf?

I want to play US college golf because it has always been my dream to play golf at the highest level in the US. I believe it is the best place for me to improve as a golfer and as a person whilst also gaining a good education. The idea of playing collegiate tournaments against some of the top amateurs in the world is very appealing to me. I think the better the competition the more I will improve as a golfer.
