Congratulations to Pip Reese '28 for being named the SCA Athlete of the Week! Pip is a member of the SCA Golf Team. Read the full interview with Pip!
How long have you been playing this sport?
I've been playing golf since I was about 8, but I only seriously started playing this year.
What do you love most about this sport?
The thing I love most about golf is the feeling I get when I hit a solid shot -- it's like 'that's what it's supposed to feel like!'
Who is your biggest rival?
Definitely myself. I push myself almost too hard.
Do you have plans to compete collegiately?
Hopefully!
Do you have any pregame rituals or traditions?
My pregame ritual is to only wear shorts. I play better in them!!
How close are you all as a team?
I feel like our team is very close, we all have bonded over the season and become better golfers through it!
What is your goal for this season?
My goal for this season is to shoot under 50 in a tournament!
What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my dad, he's a golf fanatic, but I definitely have put in the work of my own.
What do you love most about being a Scarab?
The thing I love most about being a Scarab is the friendships and the supportiveness of our school. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed.
What is your favorite TV show?
My favorite tv show is Loki -- I'm an absolute Marvel nerd.
What are the top 5 songs on your playlist right now?
I'm Just Ken (from Barbie), The Real Slim Shady (Eminem), Houdini (Eminem), Victorious (Panic at the Disco), and Head Up (The Score). There's a lot more, but these run through my head way too much.
What is your favorite snack food?
My favorite snack food is Goldfish!
What is your favorite pre-game meal?
My favorite pre-match meal is Chick-fil-a. Specifically Grilled Nuggets.
