WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? To go to college and become a theoretical/astrophysicist, with something to do with writing on the side.
OTHER THAN YOUR PARENTS, WHO’S HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE? HOW? My older brother Robby, he’s always been around to encourage me and help me feel better when I’m feeling down by watching Game Grumps together and going through boxes of stuff from our childhoods. He’s also really pushed me creatively, he probably doesn’t even realize but because of how good of an artist and writer he is it’s influenced me into wanting to get better in those aspects too.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT GOLF? It is a competitive sport, but it’s more competing with yourself, so it’s easier to enjoy it than be stressed about beating another person.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? It’s been really fun, we’ve been doing pretty good as a team so I’m glad.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? Getting to play at different courses than I would have otherwise.
WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? Just keep practicing and trying to do their best and we’ll be alright.
TALK ABOUT YOUR GAME NOW; WHAT ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO? Be able to chip the ball onto the green from 15-50 yards away.
WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE ON IN PRACTICE? My putting, because it’s something that you can never perfect, just continue to keep improving on.
FAVORITE CLUB? WHY? My putter, because once I have it in my hand I know I’m that much closer to getting the ball in the hole.
WHEN YOU’RE THROUGH PLAYING GOLF FOR BRYANT HIGH, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT IT? All the laughs we’ve had at practice together.
