Ep 178 - Chris Somerfield - Golf, Perspective & Playing for Something Bigger


Listen Later

From hating golf as a kid…
to becoming a Top 10 junior in Australia. From Division II freshman of the year
to now competing in Division I with Arkansas State University, currently ranked 37th in the nation after winning 3 of 5 fall events. This episode is a deep dive into the real journey of college golf. We unpack:
  • What actually separates good juniors from elite ones
  • The jump from Australian junior golf to U.S. college golf
  • The difference between Division II and Division I
  • How Division I players structure their week
  • How they prepare for tournaments and practice rounds
  • Golf fitness, mental preparation, and performance habits
  • Balancing study, sport, and a social life
And we talk about something bigger than golf. On the day he left to transfer schools, he found out his dad had cancer. We discuss resilience, perspective, and how chasing a dream changes when life reminds you what really matters. If you're a junior aiming for college golf — or a parent trying to understand the pathway — this episode gives you a real look inside what it actually takes. Not just talent.
Consistency. Structure. Perspective.
