Leaving My Mark: Four-Time All-District
Golfer by Keegan Glade

One of my proudest achievements as a high school golfer was being named a four-time All-District golfer Reflecting on this accomplishment brings a sense of pride and gratitude, not just for the recognition but also for the lessons and experiences I gained throughout my high school career. As Keegan Glade explained, the journey to earning All-District honors each year was filled with dedication, countless hours of practice, and personal growth, both on and off the course
My first All-District selection was a surprise, a recognition that made me realize how far I had come since picking up a golf club But it wasn’t just about the title it was about proving to myself that hard work pays off. With each passing season, I worked to refine my game, focusing on areas where I could improve. Whether it was my short game, consistency off the tee, or mental toughness, I consciously tried to evolve as a player
Earning All-District honors four times required me to compete at my highest level year after year against some of the best golfers in the area It wasn’t easy, and there were setbacks along the way. There were days when I struggled to find my rhythm and other times when the pressure felt overwhelming But each experience, whether a challenging round or a rewarding victory, contributed to the golfer I became
Beyond the technical skills I developed, being a four-time All-District golfer taught me the importance of resilience and mental strength. Golf is as much a mental game as it is physical, and I learned how to stay focused, calm, and confident under pressure These lessons went beyond the course and helped shape who I am
As I look back on my high school golf career, being named a four-time All-District golfer will always be one of my most cherished accomplishments It wasn’t just about the titles the journey, the friendships, and the personal growth that came along the way. It was an honor to leave that legacy behind, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have competed at such a high level
