Ryan Novara '22 Recruiting Profile

Golf started off as a simple curiosity to me.  I had heard my friends talk about it as well as I knew my grandfather and uncle were avid players.  At a young age of 10 in Naples Florida, I asked my grandfather if I could join him on the course even though it appeared I would be the youngest.   I was hooked immediately and my family still talks about how I wanted to go golfing six days straight and skipped going to Disney.  

While I tried varying sports growing up, golf clicked for me personally as it had everything I had been looking for in a sport.  Golf required patience, focus, analytics and determination.  It requires the ability to visualize.  And most importantly, the game is played mainly on a 5-6 inch course...the space between your ears.  There are good and bad days in golf you have to try to overcome and I want to always strive to be the best version of myself and improve on my own game.
