Checking in with junior
Nick Mejia to see what he has to say about What's In The Bag? presented by the
Pinnacle Advisory Group.
Â
Nicknames: "Rafa, Josey Wales and The Outlaw"
Favorite Memory of the Season: "Making my first in competition hole-in-one at the Fort Lauderdale Intercollegiate. I hit 5-iron from 188 yards out, wind gusting in my face. When a parent behind the green threw his hands in the air, I knew I had made it."
Â
How are you Keeping Busy This Quarantine?: "Just staying at home, working out, reading, and watching some movies. I have a net and mat in my garage where I can make swings and a putting mat in my basement to practice putting."
Â
What are you going to focus on this summer to be ready in the fall?: "I will be focusing on improving my driving and wedge play. I'm also going to focus on my mental game, specifically my pre-shot routine and being able to visualize the result I want."
