About Me
My Experience
For 2024-25 I will be a Junior at Crimson Cliffs High School in St. George, Utah. I graduate 2026.
I've been golfing since I was about 8 years old. Golf is my thing. I love it and never get tired of practicing and competing. I've got a lot of tournaments coming up and further off in the future and I wanted a place to post those events and results.
Skills:
Handicap Index: +3.8. (10/15/24)
High School GPA: 4.0
More About Me
(Non-Golf Stuff)
I also enjoy competitive swimming. For '24 season, I qualified for High School State in 50 Free and 100 Fly and participating in 2 relays (200 Medley and 400 Free). I placed 8th place in 100 Fly in the finals event.
When I'm not golfing and as long as it is warm enough, I love to be out on the lake wake surfing.
I also love music. I've been playing piano since age 5 and cello since age 11
