### Una Historia de Amor al Golf

En julio de 2013, mi padre practicaba golpes en el campo de prácticas de la Fedegolf. Intrigado por este nuevo juego, decidí intentarlo y usé el sand wedge de mi padre. Inmediatamente, logré golpear la bola y enviarla a unas 45 yardas. Un profesor de la Fedegolf me vio y me propuso participar en un campamento de verano organizado por la Federación Colombiana de Golf. Mi padre aceptó de inmediato, y desde ese momento me enamoré del golf, ganando mi primer torneo un mes después de comenzar.

Me encantaban los entrenamientos en la escuela de golf de la federación y rápidamente me convertí en una jugadora reconocida en el semillero. Pronto, los campos infantiles de los semilleros comenzaron a aburrirme un poco, y deseaba descubrir los verdaderos campos. En mayo de 2015, comencé la gira de "Interclubes de Golf" en los campos de La Sabana y Pueblo Viejo. Ese mismo año, me clasifiqué al Zonal y al Nacional infantil colombiano "Copa Bambuco Samper" en el campo de La Sabana.

### A Golf Love Story

In July 2013, my father was practicing hitting on the Fedegolf practice range. Intrigued by this new game, I decided to give it a try and used my father's sand wedge. Immediately, I managed to hit the ball and send it about 45 yards. A teacher from Fedegolf saw me and suggested that I participate in a summer camp organized by the Colombian Golf Federation. My father immediately accepted, and from that moment on I fell in love with golf, winning my first tournament a month after starting.

I loved the training at the federation's golf school and quickly became a recognized player in the field. Soon, the childish fields of the seedbeds began to bore me a little, and I wanted to discover the real fields. In May 2015, I began the "Interclubes de Golf" tour at the La Sabana and Pueblo Viejo courses. That same year, I qualified for the Zonal and the Colombian Children's National "Copa Bambuco Samper" in the La Sabana field.

### Une histoire d'amour avec le golf

En juillet 2013, mon père s'entraînait au practice de Fedegolf. Intrigué par ce nouveau jeu, j'ai décidé de l'essayer et j'ai utilisé le coin de sable de mon père. Immédiatement, j'ai réussi à frapper la balle et à l'envoyer à environ 45 mètres. Un professeur de Fedegolf m'a vu et m'a proposé de participer à un camp d'été organisé par la Fédération Colombienne de Golf. Mon père a tout de suite accepté et à partir de ce moment je suis tombé amoureux du golf, remportant mon premier tournoi un mois après avoir commencé.

J'ai adoré la formation à l'école de golf de la fédération et je suis rapidement devenu un joueur reconnu dans le domaine. Bientôt, les champs enfantins des pépinières ont commencé à m'ennuyer un peu, et j'ai eu envie de découvrir les vrais champs. En mai 2015, j'ai commencé le circuit "Interclubes de Golf" sur les parcours de La Sabana et Pueblo Viejo. Cette même année, je me suis qualifié pour la Zonale et la Copa Bambuco Samper nationale des enfants colombiens dans le domaine de La Sabana.

Signing Day: Ranking the Class of 2025’s top players, classes

  

Published November 13, 2024 07:01 AM​​

The Class of 2025’s early signing period for men’s and women’s golf begins on Wednesday – and things will be a little different.

Looming roster limits will have some recruits not signing and instead scrambling for new homes while the national letter of intent has been replaced by grant-and-aid agreements that give more flexibility to the student-athletes.

It could be an early signing period full of surprises.

On the men’s side, Vanderbilt is bringing in a trio of top-25 talents, including No. 2 Michael Riebe and No. 6 Will Hartman, who at one point was arguably considered best in class. Auburn also has a deep class led by top-ranked recruit Logan Reilly. Henry Guan reclassified and will sign with Oklahoma State while Joshua Bai will enroll at Florida in January. Chase Kyes switched from Alabama to Tennessee just last month, a shocker to those in Tuscaloosa, while Sweden’s Simon Hovdal could be Texas Tech’s next international star.

Duke edged out Texas A&M for the best women’s class, as the Blue Devils plan to sign Rianne Malixi, the U.S. Women’s Amateur and U.S. Girls’ Junior champion, and Avery McCrery, who won this year’s Girls Junior PGA. Both are top-5 signings. The Aggies, though, probably have the deepest, with three of their four signings ranked in the top 13, including No. 3 Scarlet Schremmer, who had been committed to Miami, then Texas, before settling on Texas A&M. It’s always more international heavy on the women’s side, and Thailand’s Eila Galitsky (South Carolina) and Australia’s Sarah Hammett (USC) join Malixi in the top four. Galitsky is rumored to be joining the Gamecocks this spring while Hammett draws comparisons to a former Trojan from that part of the world, New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey.
