Salina Central’s Tyler Zuege started his golf career as a fun bonding moment, but little did he know that it would turn into something much more than that.
“I started playing in seventh grade about six years ago,” Zuege said. “I started because my grandpa bought me a golf set to play with him and I haven’t stopped since.”
Being his senior year, Zuege knew he wanted to play at the next level, so he spent the season working hard to prove himself.
“I have had many goals this season, one major one was to make a college team and make state,” Zuege said.
With lots of experience, Zuege still remembers one of the most defining points of his career, one that changed his perspective of the game.
“My most memorable point was last year shooting a 86 and being one away from state, alongside my teammate Tommy Pain,” Zuege said.
Zuege plans to continue on with his academic and athletic career after high school, finally getting to check one of his goals off the list.
“I am going to Kansas Wesleyan University for physics next year and playing for their golf team,” Zuege said.
