FRESHMAN: QUEEN CREEK HIGH SCHOOL

SPORTS: GOLF

When and where did you play your best round of golf?

I played my best golf at Wigwam Golf Resort on June 2-4.

Name the best golf course, in your opinion, that you’ve had the opportunity to play? Why do you think it’s the best?

Dove Mountain because it was where the Accenture Match Play was held.

What is one area of the game you’d most like to improve as you progress through your high school career?

I would like to improve on my mental ability as my high school career progresses because if you can’t believe that you can shoot the best round of golf in your life then it won’t happen.

Finish this sentence: “My greatest athletic memory so far at QCHS is…”

When the team went to TopGolf to celebrate.

What is your favorite sports movies and why?

The Replacements because it will tell you not to go in quicksand; so if it’s golf you can’t always complain on that one bad hole.

Who is one person you’d like to meet and why?

Tiger Woods, just because of how he impacted the game so much.
