Okay, so I saw this name, Derek Hitchner, pop up a few times, and I got curious. Figured I’d dig into it and see what’s up. Turns out, this guy is a golfer, and a pretty good one at that. He’s been playing for Pepperdine, and from what I gather, he decided to come back for a fifth year. Smart move, I guess.

First thing I did was check out some scores. Found out he shot a 69 at the Southwestern Invitational. That’s 3-under par, which, for a non-golfer like me, sounds pretty impressive. Leading the team and all that, this guy is not messing around.
Getting into the action
- Went through a bunch of articles and interviews.
- Discovered he was in the U.S. Amateur.
Seems like a big deal, so I watched some clips. Watched him in action, swinging the clubs and making those shots. I don’t know all the golf terms, but I could tell he was good. Made it to the match play field after a playoff. That sounds intense, battling it out to get in.
Watching and learning
- Checked out some videos of him playing.
- Noticed his technique and how focused he was.
I’m no golf expert, but I appreciate the skill and dedication it takes. Watching Hitchner, you can see he’s got both. He’s got this calm demeanor, even when the pressure is on. I guess that’s what makes a good golfer, staying cool under pressure.
Final thoughts
So, that’s my little journey into the world of Derek Hitchner. Started with a name, and ended up watching a bunch of golf. Not what I expected, but hey, it was interesting. I might even start following golf more now. Who knows, maybe I’ll even pick up a club myself someday.
Anyway, that’s my story. Just wanted to share my little adventure and maybe get some of you interested in Derek Hitchner and golf. He seems like a cool guy, and I’m definitely rooting for him.
