Hyemin Choe was chosen as the Collegiate Athlete of the Month. The golfer qualified for the 2022 state golf tournament, and took 13th at regionals.
“It was a surprise of opportunity that I became one of the athletes chosen for the magazine,” Choe said.
There was one specific aspect of her game that Choe wanted to improve this season.
“I did not have a specific goal last year, but I always tried to set my mind to try my best,” Choe said. “But this season, I had a particular purpose improving on the driver and finishing the hole in no more than two-putting.”
Choe prepared for the season by spending her time on the courses.
“I prepared for the senior season by focusing on my weakness from last year,” Choe said. “My driver became a problem for me in the middle of the season. From then on I improved a lot with practice. I always wanted to improve my putting skill, which I had already significantly improved in the previous year.”
At Collegiate, Choe is involved in bowling, marching band, Newcomers club, golf, and Art club. Choe plans to continue her academic career after high school.
“I plan on attending college in the United States, but I don’t have a specific plan,” Choe said. “If I have an excellent opportunity to play golf at college, I would love to join.”
