The trials proved to be daunting since we were expected to play 81 holes over 3 days, and I was not off to a great start due to immense pressure. By the second day, I felt devoid of energy and my shots were listless. However, I did not allow myself to get discouraged and by the 3rd day I had caught up to be just 5 strokes behind the top two players. All I required was a par on the last hole to secure myself a place in the national team. Unfortunately, luck was not with by my side.
As disheartening as the loss was, I had tried my best and that was a mental triumph. I aspire to continue golf not only as a hobby, but also as a potential future career.
From the moment my father took me to a golf course at the age of 9, I knew I had a great passion for the game of golf. I began playing at the club level, but soon through perseverance and practice, I qualified for the junior trials at the national level. The competition was fierce as it featured the best players from around the country.
