Gianna Martino '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a very competitive person and I like to set goals so I can see my improvement.  Currently I have a scoring goal to break 80 this spring.  My personal low is 83.  My coach and I believe that we can shave three strokes by working on my 100 yds and in game.  Chipping is a huge part of that and it's also one part of the game I have worked on throughout this off-season in our indoor facility.  Chipping and putting too because that is also an area I can get better at.

One thing I think that differentiates me from other girls I have golfed against is my distance.  On average I hit my drives 250 yds.  Most the girls I play against are 230 and less.  My coach also has me doing a lot of training in mindfulness.  We do exercises on patience, positive mental attitude and meditation.  I use meditation to get myself "in the zone" then practice mindfulness to keep myself in the zone.

I'm very excited to play golf in college and I look forward to contributing and competing on a good team.
