Trista Chasteen '23 Recruiting Profile

Golf is a game that is a love-hate relationship. For me personally golf was definitely a hate relationship before my freshman year of high school. I thought golf was just going to be a hobby when I was younger. Once I joined golf for school I quickly realized that it was more than just golf, it was the relationships you grow with your teammates or other girls from different schools that you play with throughout your high school years. Me being a senior now i'm starting to notice it is coming to an end rather fast. The past year I have been golfing like no other. Whenever I am free I want to go to the range or even play 9 holes whether it's just myself or with my family or friends. My love for the golf game has grown tremendously throughout the past years and I would love to keep that game going throughout my college life. 

I think I would be a great fit to your team because I have put tons of work into this game. Golf used to be a game to me until I realized it's more. Friendships throughout the golf season are a huge thing to me. I want to make new friends and golf is a sport that makes it where you can just talk to someone and make a new friend after one day. I used to not be too good at golf until I decided to take lessons. Before these lessons I was shooting in the 50’s now after one winter of lessons I am shooting in the low 40’s high 30’s. Golf has become more than a sport to me and I want to keep playing golf competitively as long as I can. I think I could bring great energy and low scores to your team, even if it takes a lot of practice to better myself. 

I have many goals for myself for my college career or even my future. One huge goal to me is to keep golfing, keep my scores low and to keep playing golf competitively. Like I mentioned earlier, I took lessons in the winter. After those lessons my trainer would talk to me about PGM. He would go on and on about how he loved it and it was a great addition to his life. Then I couldn’t get my mind off of being a local professional somewhere around the world. When I was younger I always wanted to be a teacher, then I realized I could take teaching and my love for golf and put them together. PGM is what I want to do in my future or basically just golf in general.
