From a young age, I have watched my Dad play in local PGA tournaments and became interested in golf. I begged my Dad to teach me how to play golf, but he held off until I was about twelve years old. As soon as I started playing I fell in love with the mechanics of the swing. At the time I did not understand how a big part of golf was the mindset. I struggled with learning that if my mindset wasn't in the right place then I wouldn’t do as well. It wasn’t until I played at Riverton Country Club on June 21, 2018, that I finally realized that the mindset was the leading force in the game of golf.
This tournament was a one-day tournament with two rounds. I had about an hour break between my first round and second. Naturally, after the first round, I was a little fatigued and it showed on my next nine holes; I shot a 46. After just scoring a 79 the first round I was upset with this score, but I was able to collect myself mentally and shoot a 33 on the back nine. After playing this tournament in physically exhausting conditions and shooting a 79-79 it showed me that the way you think on the golf course is more important than the way you are playing. Knowing how to control my mindset now will help me playing college golf.
When thinking about college I know for certain that academics is my number one priority. I have been motivated academically and pushed my limits; therefore, I would like to continue this in college.
