Personal Statement

I am a dedicated athlete and student. I push myself everyday to become better and learn new ideas. I strive to play golf at the highest level while keeping realistic expectations. I strive to have a positive attitude even when things don't go my way. Personally, I enjoy spending time with my teammates on the Waipahu High School golf team and I do really well around others. In the end, I hope to receive guidance from anyone willing to lend a hand and feel the need to prove myself on the course. I've played in high school finishing in at #1 overall in the OIA for my Junior Year. I also have played in JGAH and plan to play in HSJGA as well.

Events

Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Kapolei Golf Club Divisional Championships
4/10/23 to 4/10/23
This course played a par 72 and 7,000 yards. Out of 63 players, I finished 3rd shooting 76. This day was hard for me, when I completed the first nine holes I was -2. However, the wind started to kick up and I started to struggle mentally. My back nine score was 42 and left me speechless. After this tournament, I started practicing low shots and focused on my chipping and putting.
Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Ewa Villages Tournament
3/27/23 to 3/27/23
This course played 6580 yards and is a par 73 course. I finished 1st out of 66 players and shot -3. I had a great start shooting 3 under in the front shot even par in the back nine. I was hitting my driver in the middle of the fairway and was able to hit the green in regulation on most holes. My ball striking and putting left me a stress-free round with only 3 bogeys.
Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Barbers Point GC Tournament
3/15/23 to 3/15/23
I finished 3rd out of 54 other players shooting even par (72). I had a great front nine and was one under at the turn. However, I changed my game plan and played unnecessarily aggressive, which resulted in three bogies in the back nine. I was able to make two birdies to remedy my mistakes but it wasn't enough to capture the win. This finish taught me to maintain patience and play to my strengths.
Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Mililani GC Tournament
3/03/23 to 3/03/23
I finished T1 out of 56 other players with a score of -2 through 18 holes. I played exceptionally considering a few minor mistakes. I had the potential to score lower if it wasn't for a few missed putts. Regardless, I was able to keep a calm, collected mindset to finish strong.
Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Barbers Point GC Tournament
3/21/22 to 3/21/22
I won this tournament that hosted 45 other players. I shot 70, which was two under par. My striking, mindset, and overall attitude on this day was exceptional and I strive to consistently perform this way.
Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Leilehua Tournament
3/14/22 to 3/14/22
I placed second amongst 52 other players from other public high schools in Hawaii participated in this tournament. I shot the par score on this course, which was 72. Even though I shot well, I still believe that my approach shots from 120 yards and in could’ve been better.
Camp/Event
Oahu Interscholastic Association - Oahu Country Club Tournament
3/07/22 to 3/07/22
A total of 39 boys from public high schools across Hawaii participated in this tournament. The par score for this course was 71, I shot 76 on that day and placed third. After this day, I made it a point to improve my putting stroke and speed control to lower my scores in the future.
