Maya Hiles '20 Recruiting Profile

I was two years old when I experienced one of life's most important sports, Golf. I remember when my first time at the driving range I would collect as many golf balls as I could and placed them in the baskets like Easter eggs. As I grew older, I went from collecting golf balls to collecting yardage with my U.S Kids driver. I was determined to hit the ball farther and farther every time. I knew I had control over my every shot. Overtime, I played on junior tours and made many relationships that I couldn't have without golf. I pushed myself to get better and stayed determined till this day. As golf parallels life, I’ve learned the key of determination, confidence, independence and have been fortunate to understand the importance of relationships. These traits that golf taught me shaped me into who I am today. The golf course taught me about my life before I could experience it first hand. I aspire to continue my golf career with a college team and also continue making relationships and enhancing my skill mentally and physically everyday.
