Luke Hammond '22 Recruiting Profile

I homeschool and currently attend a hybrid model school called Chapin Academy. This allows me the time to play and practice in order to improve my game. I love golf and I am personally dedicated and driven to be the best I can be on and off the golf course.

I attend Chapin Presbyterian Church and I am involved in my youth group and service projects. I have played drums for my church services, youth group and school weekly since I was 10 years old.

Something to note about me, I hit my growth spurt late. I have not reached my full physical growth potential. I have grown 5 inches and gained 15 pounds in just the last 18 months. I will continue to see the benefits of my physical growth in my game over the next couple of years.

Over the past few years, I have steadily improved my score by more and more shots each year. Unfortunately, due to Covid, my sophomore year was cancelled and my chances of getting into larger tournaments were lost. I entered as many local, less known tournaments as possible in order to continue playing and improving.
