Freshman fall quarter has been one of the best
experiences of my life. It’s everything that you hear plus a lot more. As a student-athlete
at one of the top schools in the country, the days can become very busy. A
typical in-season day includes workouts, class, practice, and homework. Our
trainer, Jason, keeps us motivated and working hard in the gym with a good plan
for each one of us to get stronger. Fitness is a big part of our team and it
can have an impact on our golf games. I was enrolled in three classes this
quarter that totaled to 14 units. These classes were Math51, Econ1, and Weather
and Storms. Classes at Stanford are definitely a step up from those I had in
high school.
The resources and support that we receive as Stanford golfers are
incredible. One of the many attractions to come to Stanford was the Siebel
Varsity Golf Training Complex. This practice facility, along with great
teammates to practice and compete with, has made practicing more fun and more
productive than ever before. The Siebel facility has been undergoing an amazing
transformation during the fall season that will be open by the time we get back
from winter break. This renovation includes a clubhouse, hitting bays with all
of the latest and greatest technology, four new greens, and tons of new shots
to master. This practice facility allows our team, Coach Ray, and Coach Brockington
to get creative and get the most out of our practice time.
On top of our
practice at the Siebel Training Complex, our team has been fortunate enough to
play some of the top courses around Stanford. These include Stanford Golf
Course, Los Altos Golf Club, San Francisco Golf Club, California Golf Club,
Pasatiempo Golf Club and more.
I learned a lot during fall quarter and had a
lot of fun as well. I’m very excited about the rest of freshman year both on
and off the golf course. As always, Go Card!
