Andover Central’s Cal Shultz has had years of golf experience through friends and family, and when the opportunity to play for Andover Central came he knew he had to take it. Shultz was a state qualifier last season.
“I’ve played golf since I was two years old,” Shultz said. “My dad would take my brother and I to hit balls and putt. We played almost every day. I love the challenge of golf and enjoying it with my family and friends.”
Shultz and the team traveled to Crestview not too long ago, and he walked away with an enjoyable memory of his team placing in the top five.
“My favorite memory would be placing fourth at the Collegiate tournament at Crestview,” Shultz said.
While Shultz spent the offseason playing and training on the course, he knows there is still work to be done before the state tournament.
“My focus will be on improving my chipping and putting before state,” Shultz said.
Shultz has confidence in himself and his team, and his biggest goal is making another appearance at state. To make the stakes higher, they’re hoping to place as well.
“I want to qualify for state and help my team get there as well,” Shultz.
The first team all-league golfer is also involved in basketball at Central, and likes to get involved with the school in other ways as well.
“I enjoy being part of the social media school videos and interviews,” Shultz said.
