CC - What do you like and enjoy about golf?
SM - Golf is a challenge. I'm always trying to improve. It's a lot of fun.
CC - What do you think makes golf better than any other sport?
SM - Because you can also be part of a team and compete as an individual. So you can have personal success and team success, which is more rewarding than just having the one.
CC - How did you first get involved in golf?
SM - My dad got me started when I was about five or six.
CC - What do you think is one moment from your high school career to date that you're most proud of?
SM - Making it to State in a 6-man playoff my freshman year.
CC - What was that experience like?
SM - It was unreal. Just so nervous. I had to hit last and ended up advancing on the first hole. It was great. I was feeling it.
CC - Do you have any goals for this season?
SM - Just to continue to improve and end up getting back to the State level.
CC - Describe your role on this E-Rab Golf team.
SM - I try to be a leader and to be an inspiration to the rest of the players.
CC - What do you think has been the biggest improvement in your golfing since your freshman year?
SM - Definately my mental attitude. I'm not beating myself up over each and every bad swing I make, and just knowing how I missed and how I can get away with it when I do miss.
CC - What has been the best golf advice given to you?
SM - Swing, go find it, and get it back in play.
CC - Finish this sentence about yourself: Other than golf, no one can beat me at ...
SM - Academics. I'm in the top 3% in my class. That's something I pride myself on.
CC - Balancing athletics and academics is tough. How do you go about doing that?
SM - It's always been academics. It's a priviledge to be able to play sports. If you don't have the grades, there's no chance your going to play.
CC - If there was one rule in golf that you'd like to see changed, what would it be?
SM - Being able to pat down spike marks on the greens. Someone could draw a circle around the hole with their foot, and you can't do anything about it.
