"I was really intimidated at first, but it was great to play with better players. It was huge for the mental aspect of my game; they taught me so much. Before high school, I thought golf was just a hobby. When I joined the team in the Upper School, I knew it was a sport I wanted to play in college." —Zara Jacob '21
Together, we are a richly diverse community committed to learning from—and about—one another. We are Pingry.
