Okay, so I saw this thing online about a 15-year-old playing in the Rocket Mortgage golf tournament, and I thought, “No way, that’s gotta be a clickbait.” But then I started digging a little, and it turns out it’s legit! This kid, Miles Russell, is actually playing alongside the pros. It’s nuts!
First thing I did was check out some videos of this kid’s swing. I mean, 15 years old! I was probably still struggling to hit the ball straight at that age. This kid’s swing is smooth, like, seriously smooth. He’s got this relaxed but powerful motion, and it’s clear he’s been practicing, a lot. So, I watched a few videos, completely blown away.
Then I moved on to read some articles about him. Turns out, he’s a big deal in the junior golf world. He’s been winning tournaments left and right. He even got an exemption to play in this Rocket Mortgage thing. That’s how good he is. They basically said, “Yeah, you’re good enough to play with the big boys.” And at 15! The articles talked about his focus, his dedication, and how he’s not intimidated by playing with the pros. They painted a picture of a really mature kid who is taking it in stride. I found myself really rooting for him.
After that, I decided to check the tournament’s schedule. I wanted to see when he was teeing off and if I could catch him live. I marked it on my calendar. I even set a reminder on my phone. I was getting pretty into this!
- Checked videos of Miles Russell’s swing – impressed!
- Read articles about his achievements and background.
- Found the tournament schedule and his tee time.
- Set reminders to watch him play.
So, the day came, and I tuned in to watch him. I was really excited. You know how it is when you’ve been following something and you finally get to see it happen. He played pretty well, considering the pressure. He didn’t win, obviously, but he held his own. I was super impressed. I mean he finished with a better score than I probably could, even with years more practice.
In the end, it was just a cool experience to follow this young golfer’s journey. I started out skeptical, dug into his background, and ended up a fan. It’s amazing what these young athletes can do. It makes you think about your own goals and what you can achieve with hard work and dedication. Definitely keeping an eye on this Miles Russell kid. He’s going places!
