Jacob Goode '21 Recruiting Profile

What I love most about golf is what frustrates other golfers, one never masters the sport. It constantly changes and you have to be able to assess, adapt and be flexible.  I’ve learned  how to be resilient, because after every shot, whether it is good or bad, there is another one right after. A golfer once told me that no one should be able to tell how I am playing based on my demeanor. I know that I will never know all there is to know about the game. I am not afraid of failure and putting in the hard work.  My goal is to play and learn from the best. I am challenged and inspired by players who have the same passion for the game. 

All the lessons, I learn on the golf course, I try to apply to other aspects of my life. I am committed not only to the game but also to my academics. 

I came to this game later than most kids. I was a pitcher in baseball for many years. Pitching and Golfing are very much like a chess match. I love the challenge and look forwarding to incorporating my best self both academically and on the golf course.
