For a lot of people, golf might just look like a slow, quiet sport. But for the players on the boys golf team, it’s something more personal, something that keeps pulling them back.

For Brody Colburn, golf started as a family connection. “My dad played when he was younger with my grandpa, and that’s kind of what got me into it,” he said. But now, it’s more than that. It’s about growth not just as a player, but as a person. Learning how to handle frustration and stay in control has become part of the experience.

Dane Starnes shares a similar story. Inspired by watching his dad and brother play, he grew up wanting to be on the course just like them. Over time, that turned into something deeper. Golf became a place where his competitive side could fully come out, pushing him to improve while also shaping how he approaches life.

For Mason Long, the game started with friends. Watching them play made him want to be part of it, and now, in his first year on the team, he’s finding his place. Along the way, he’s learned that golf is just as much about controlling your mindset as it is about skill. Staying composed and learning from mistakes has helped him both on and off the course.

Even though each player came into golf differently, through family, competition, or friendships, they all found something similar in it. Golf isn’t just about playing. It’s about growth, connection, and learning more about yourself every time you step out there.
