Bishop Carroll Golf Q&A with Carson Towey
VYPE: What age did you start playing golf and who got you started?
Towey: I started to play golf when I was seven years old and my dad got me started on the game.
VYPE: What appealed to you about the sport?
Towey: The thing that appealed to me most about golf is that it challenges me mentally and physically, and the feeling of a well hit shot keeps me coming back. Growing up, I played basketball, football, track and soccer.
VYPE: Do you have a favorite course?
Towey: My favorite place to play is Reflection Ridge. This is my favorite because I live on this course and I play it almost every day, but it still challenges me each time I go out there and play.
VYPE: What are your personal best and tournament best scores?
Towey: The best score I have ever posted is a 3-under, 69 at Reflection. My tournament best was a 2-under, 70 at Cherry Oaks in Cheney.
VYPE: What’s your go-to club?
Towey: My favorite club to hit is my driver. It’s my favorite club because it sets me up for success on every hole.
VYPE: Tell me about your teammates and what they have meant to you.
Towey: My teammates are very fun and energetic. We had five seniors that led the team at the start of this season. I enjoyed being a part of the Bishop Carroll golf team so much through these past four years! I had so much fun with Coach Berger and Coach Gomez and all my teammates during practices and tournaments. It really stinks that I won’t be able to play my senior year because I believe that our team would have been really good.
VYPE: What have you improved on the most since last season?
Towey: The most improved part of my game coming into 2020 is my accuracy and distance off the tee. I have gotten a lot stronger these past few months and have really worked on ball placement off the tee.
VYPE: What are your plans after graduation?
Towey: My plans after graduation are to attend and play golf at Kansas City Kansas Community College. I will join my brother there next year and I am very excited for this opportunity.
