Ben Gelven Octobe...
2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My name is Ben Gelven and I am a Junior (Class of 2025) at Mary Institute and Country Day School. I have a big interest in continuing my golf career into college and have a huge goal in being recruited. I have played golf my entire life but started playing competitively 3 years ago. The strongest aspects of my game consist of my short pitches around the greens, putting, and wedge shots within 100 yards. Characteristics of myself that are my strongest include my work ethic and my tough mental game. I believe I would be a great fit on many teams as I show good sportsmanship and always have a positive attitude of working to get better.
