Making the all-boys High School golf team and winning the 2018 High School girls regional tournament really fueled my desire to play collegiate golf. I did this all as a freshman, while maintaining a 3.6 GPA. I started playing golf when I was 10 because my parents played and wanted it to be a family sport that we all could enjoy. I used to play golf because of my family but now I play tournament golf for myself and my high school team. I especially enjoy the team environment and comradery the comes with it.
Golf has taught me many lessons, two of which are that you can never practice enough and to practice with purpose. When I set my academic and golf goals for the season, I work hard to accomplish both. Since my freshman year, I’ve doubled down with my swing coach, attended summer college golf camps, practiced daily and greatly increased my tournament play (Peggy Kirk Bell (PKB), Virginia Stage Golf Association (VSGA) and College Prep Tour). While 2020 has been a tough year for golf, my discipline and hard work heading into the 2021 season will pay off.
I achieved my first Mid Atlantic PKB tournament win in the summer of 2019 at Hanover Country Club. That win qualified me for two PKB invitationals that fall. I wrapped up a short 2020 season with a win at the College Prep Tour Michael Breed Invitational tournament held at Independence Golf Club (5900 yards). My 2020 high school season will start in February of 2021. 2021 will be packed with plenty of tour tournament golf and two high school seasons which will just further prepare me for collegiate level play.
