Freshman Year Golf Season

 This year was my first year of being a college student and also a college athlete. It was stressful, it is very hard to balance good grades with golf going on at the same time. If I wasn't doing good in school it was hard for me to do good on the course and it was just stressful. Golf in high school is completely different than golf in college. In high school, you have one season and that is the fall season. In college, you have two seasons, one in the fall, and one in the spring. The exciting part about being a part of the golf team is having access to all the sports facilities and even your own golf room. During the off-season in high school, it was very hard to practice due to it being cold and just not good conditions for golf. In the golf season in college, there are 2 seasons. We would have team practice indoors which would always keep us warm and ready to get out and play whenever. This is the first time that I have practiced in a facility that is just meant for the team, and man does it feel good. Another exciting thing about college golf is the fact that we get free golf balls with our school's logo, and discounts on golf equipment. For almost every golf brand you can think of we get a discount of up to 40% off. That blows my mind, but it also makes sense since you are also paying for college tuition and trying to pay for the most expensive sport out there. Overall I really enjoyed my first year on the team, I made a bunch of new friends and I cant wait to get back on the grind with the team again.
