Olivia Augustine: What are your goals for the season?

Jaden Archuleta: My goals for this season are to break the school record (35) at our home golf course (Orange Hills). Another goal is to qualify for going all state.

OA: What do you enjoy most about playing golf?

JA: What I enjoy most about golf is being able to play all the time with my friends and being able to push one another to become a better golfer.

OA: Why did you decide to play golf?

JA: I decided to play golf during COVID, I got really bored one day and found golf clubs in my grandparents basement and I went to a field and starting hitting balls and I found that I was pretty good at it and it was very fun, so I decided to try out for the team a year later.

OA: How have you been preparing for this season? 

JA: I’ve been preparing for this season by playing golf everyday, working with coach’s on improving my swing and overall game, and I’ve just been learning more about the game and getting a better understanding of it.    

OA: What do you hope to improve on from last season?

JA: I hope to mainly improve my overall consistency and being able to focus mentally during a match, and not being able to get into my head and deceive myself.
