Boasting multiple record-breaking wins, swinging into his best game is nothing out of the ordinary for Logan Park. Now, he’s preparing to take his shot at collegiate golf, committing to play NCAA Division I golf at the University of Oregon.

Ranked #52 in Top Public Universities, choosing the University of Oregon over any other school was a cinch for Park. From the school’s state-of-the-art facilities, great coaching staff, to collaborative team events, the enticing offer was already an easy decision to accept. However, knowing their resources and connections to help him reach his ultimate goal of going professional was the final key to sealing the deal.

“I felt relieved that I had committed because I was stressed about the whole recruiting process and getting into a good school. The process of my commitment was surprising because the [university] coach offered it to me out of the blue,” Park said. “It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.”

Park picked up his first golf club fourteen years ago, tagging along with his dad’s golf coaching lessons for his older brother. Since then, he has been practicing day in and day out, bringing in wins for the Brahma Boys Golf team and working with his coach to better his game.

“When I practice, … I just try to focus on parts of my game that aren’t as dialed in as the rest and follow a practice routine every day to stay disciplined,” Park said.

His consistency and dedication prove to have paid off. This past year, he competed in the CIF-SCGA Boys Regional High School Championship. He set his seal on CIF Regional Champion shooting -10, matching the lowest score relative par in the entire championship history.

For competing at an advanced caliber, staying level-headed and calm is necessary for success. A calm mind that is present in the moment allows for improved performance and confidence on the green.

“Throughout my golf career, the greatest challenge I have faced is battling through my mental doubts,” Park said. “To fix that, I have been working with my coaches and doing breathing work to calm my nerves when playing. So during the tournament, I felt pretty comfortable. It was like I was in sort of a flow throughout my round.”

Park is just getting started with his senior year, but he’s looking forward to moving on to his collegiate golf career. As he takes a step into his future, he attributes his past success to his greatest supporters: his parents and coaches.

Park leaves some words of advice for the younger generation.

“Have fun with the sport and play every tournament like it is practice,” Park said.
