Founder & President, Walnut Golf Buddies
A journey that began with challenge, grew through mentorship, and became a mission to give back.
Golf was not something I grew up with. I was introduced to the game in 2020， later than many of my peers. In the beginning, it was difficult and often frustrating. Progress did not come easily, and catching up required patience, discipline, and persistence.
Over time, I came to understand what makes golf so meaningful—the strategy, the mental challenge, and the unpredictability of every shot. It taught me that although I can never fully predict where the ball will land, I must always have the courage to take the next swing.
As my skills continued to improve, I was also given the opportunity to serve as a junior coach at a golf academy. Through this experience, I began guiding younger students, helping them build interest in golf and supporting them on the course.
This year, our high school team went through a period of change and adjustment, which led me to reflect more deeply. Through this process, this non-profit initiative was born. I gradually realized that instead of relying only on my own efforts to help a limited number of students, I could create a more sustainable platform for many more young golfers.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and enjoyable environment where kids can learn the game, build confidence, and develop a lasting love for golf. Through this initiative, we give back to our school and the community, inspiring more students to discover the challenge and joy of the sport.
