Golf

I’m on a mission to compete at the highest levels of collegiate golf and beyond. I currently have the privilege of playing for the top varsity golf team in the Santa Barbara California Channel League at San Marcos High School while also competing in AJGA and Toyota Tour Cup events. I’m constantly grinding to lower my scores and strengthen my mental game.
