Career Timeline

Five seasons. One evolving calendar.

Drawn from 152 logged tournaments — from Spring Junior Event at Picatinny (April 2021) through a selective 2025 season of state championships and national junior fields.

  1. 2021

    22 events

    First full season in the book

    Twenty-two junior events, mostly across New Jersey and the regional circuit — Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, early US Kids stops, NJ PGA junior events, and local league play. The archive begins at Picatinny Arsenal in April: the first tournament of a multi-year record.

  2. 2022

    44 events

    Volume year — local tours everywhere

    The densest year in the dataset: forty-four tournaments. US Kids local and regional events across North Jersey, Central Jersey, Hudson Valley, Orlando, and San Francisco, plus Hurricane and Met PGA junior starts. A season defined by mileage and repetition more than any single result.

  3. 2023

    32 events

    Still building — first AJGA qualifier

    Thirty-two events as US Kids and Hurricane remain the core, with Teen Series and State Invitationals in the mix. An AJGA qualifier appears in the record — an early step onto a harder national stage while the local-tour foundation stays intact.

  4. 2024

    41 events

    Met PGA Future Series + state championship golf

    Forty-one tournaments. Met PGA Future Series becomes a regular beat (Bethpage, Eisenhower, Beekman). AJGA events increase. NYS Federation and NYAIS enter the calendar — school and state championship golf alongside the national junior tours. Notah Begay III and Mid-South Phenom appear as one-offs that stretch geography.

  5. 2025

    13 events

    Selective calendar — bigger stages

    Fewer starts, harder fields: AJGA events, NYS Federation, NYAIS, the NYS 18U Junior Amateur at McGregor Links, and the World Teen Championship at Pinehurst #5. Round scores in the archive show mid-70s averages on full events — including a 69 at Wind Watch and rounds in the low 70s at Pinehurst. The season is thinner on volume and heavier on consequence.

Courses

Where the archive was played

Over a hundred distinct venues in the location log — concentrated in New Jersey and New York, with winter weeks in Florida and stretches that reach California, New England, North Carolina, and the Caribbean.

Multiple Met PGA and New York Junior Open starts — Highland/Taconic layouts.

Turning Points

Moments that changed the trajectory

Not a highlight reel of trophies — a reading of how the competitive path shifted, season by season.

2021

The first entry in the log

Picatinny Arsenal, April 2021. Before rankings and stroke databases, there was a first junior start — and the decision to keep playing enough tournaments that a record became possible.

2022

Forty-four tournaments in one year

The volume year. US Kids local tours from New Jersey to Orlando to San Francisco, stacked with Hurricane weeks. The point wasn’t a single breakthrough finish — it was learning how to live inside a competitive calendar.

2023

First AJGA qualifier on the sheet

Still mostly US Kids and Hurricane, but the AJGA qualifier marks a shift: national fields, harder cuts, different pressure. The local-tour foundation stays; the ceiling moves up.

2024

Future Series and school championship golf collide

Met PGA Future Series at Bethpage and Eisenhower becomes routine. Federation and NYAIS enter the year. Competitive golf stops being only a tour schedule — it also becomes a school-team story.

2025

Pinehurst, state titles, fewer starts

World Teen Championship at Pinehurst #5 (73 / 77 / 72). NYS Federation, NYAIS, and the NYS 18U Junior Amateur. AJGA opens. The archive thins from forty-plus events to a selective thirteen — higher stakes per tee time.

What the Numbers Miss

After all the data

The scorecard is evidence. It is not the whole story. These are the parts the archive cannot store — and the reason the project stays human.

The walk between shots

A database can store club, lie, and result. It can’t store the three minutes after a missed short putt — or the quiet decision to commit to the next tee shot anyway.

Why forty-four events in 2022 mattered

Volume looks like a spreadsheet total. In practice it was early alarms, car rides, rain delays, and learning how to compete when the week doesn’t feel special. The growth was in the ordinary starts.

School golf vs. junior tour pressure

NYAIS and Federation live in the same archive as AJGA and Hurricane, but they don’t feel the same. Representing a team — and a school — changes how a number sits on the card.

Selective seasons

2025’s thirteen tournaments aren’t “less golf.” They’re a different craft: choosing starts, recovering between bigger fields, and treating each round as evidence rather than inventory.

What the archive is for

The point of 152 tournaments isn’t a résumé line. It’s a way of noticing — so that pressure, confidence, bad decisions, and recovery can be revisited with the honesty the numbers alone won’t provide.

Pressure before a harder national field

public/media/golf/moment-01.mp4

On the Course

Four years of varsity golf, co-captaincy, and #1-player status. 152 tournaments in the archive — junior tours, school championships, and national fields. This page turns that experience into something more: a personal dataset about decision-making, pressure, and growth.

After all the data, the most important section is the one the numbers can't capture.
