Simon Wright '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Simon Wright.  I competed in competitive swimming from 4 yrs old to 14 yrs old.  I decided during my 8th grade swim season that I wanted to really give golf a shot.  So, two and a half years ago, I joined my high school golf team that Spring.  I feel that swimming helped me to prepare for golf.  I learned self-motivation, dedication and a work ethic.  My work ethic has really brought me a long ways in a short amount of time.  Since I joined the sport of golf in my teens, I had a lot of work to do to catch up with all the other golfers.  So, I decided to work on my weak parts of my game and it has really improved my scoring average.  I usually spend 3-4 days a week on drills and 2-3 days a week playing rounds of golf.  My first tournament 2.5 years ago, I shot a 100.  However, just last week, I won a SCJGA tournament, with 70 other golfers participating, with a score of a 71.  So, I feel that my hard work has really paid off.  The biggest difference for me is that I love the game of golf and many lessons are learned by playing it.
