WISD Summer Golf Camp 6 10 2026

It's a passion that runs deep inside and these WISD boys and girls are at the annual summer golf camp at Tierra Santa to sharpen their skills. Character building, teamwork, patience, golf you have to practice a lot of patience. It all comes after spending time putting, chipping and driving. What they realize is some other skills are used, skills they've already learned in the classroom. It's a combination of both math and science. We got about 150 from here to go across that lake. A perfect scenario is at hole number three. Jason is out there with other campers analyzing and strategizing how they're going to drive the ball over this lake and on the green. Usually I have a really bad slice so I'll probably aim it left over here because I have a slice that heads right but this time I hit a draw so it's like still kind of fair and I could play it. Before they could even think about accomplishing that they must get the concept of driving the ball. That's what Joni Deleon hopes to master by the end of camp. It's a math equation so let's say that I want it to hit far away so then I do the equation so then if I want to hit it far away I need to get a good grip and hit really good. Jeremiah has improved his stroke using geometry and physics. This his second camp he's learned the sport is about angles and force especially on the green. I kind of like saw like it took a little bit like down it's going down here a little bit so like I'm like okay so I'm not gonna hit it like hard but like not too soft. I feel good like it was like my first time like hole in one. Jesse Connor is on his way to seventh grade and a player we'll be hearing about in the future. Having played golf since the age of three he's got the mechanics and fundamentals down but there is one area he's working on before he competes at the middle school level. Great shot. I'm improving on like more of my emotions when I'm like get down on myself half the time patience and try not to like get in my head all the time because when you hit a bad shot you just get up your head and then you play bad the rest of the course. Nevertheless it's a fun-filled experience that gives our students an outlet until the bell rings for a new school year. I just appreciate Tierra Santa and our great coaches and tutors for for providing this community building for all these kids. For KOSTV, I'm Mike Gonzalez.
