Golf has been a part of senior Elliot Casamento’s life since he was a little kid and is something the senior truly loves.
“I grew up playing the game,” Casamento said. “I started around when I was five when my grandfather took me out to Tallgrass Country Club. At that moment, I fell in love with the game. The summers I spent with him out on the golf course, I will truly cherish forever. He taught me a very valuable life lesson while playing with him, and the lesson was patience. Golf is a hard game, and it takes time to develop your skills, but if you stay with it and put in the work, you will see results.”
Casamento had a rough start to the year, but being the person he is, he never wavered and made sure that he continued to help mentor his teammates no matter what.
“I do take pride in my leadership and it really comes down to encouragement and leading by my actions,” Casamento said. “Especially with the underclassman, I tried to encourage them not only on the golf course but also in their life and faith. I had several major upperclassmen role models when I was a freshman that were always there to answer my questions and hear my thoughts and I am grateful that I was able to be that for several underclassmen this year. I also really try to lead by my actions I take pride in being a leader because I want to have an impact on the lives of my classmates and teammates. If I treat them with respect and honor, I believe others will see that and do the same.”
