Nicholas Darden '24 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a junior in high school. I am aspiring to take my golf to the next level after playing for a very short while. I am very experienced academically and have always been near the top of my class. I am currently taking 3 AP classes and they are AP Calc AB, AP Physics 1, and AP Psychology. I have always strived to be a year ahead in math and science as those are my two favorites subjects and always have been. I aspire to be an astrophysicist someday and I've always been interested in some sort of physical activity and I could never find which one I loved to do. That's when I found golf, I enjoyed golf the minute I played it. I was first introduced to golf after my dad suggested that we should go do something fun on the weekend and he took me to top golf. Getting my first real experience with golf there, of course I wasn't any good when I began (like any of us are) but I could tell this was something that I really wanted to do. I didn't have my own set of golf clubs yet, so I kept visiting top golf any chance I could and I slowly kept getting better and better. Watching YouTube videos in my spare time when I was pressured with school to always try to up my golf game. From getting hooked on golf, I ended up loving it and the love I have for this sport is motivating me to continue getting better and better.
