Putting Gap Year on Resume

Hi All,

I did some research and apparently putting your gap your on your resume can actually help land interviews. I’m currently a second year analyst desperately trying to make a move and was wondering if I should put on my resume the gap year I took to compete in professional and high level amateur golf events. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much
