Nancy Cox, a sophomore at Ponte Vedra High School, has proven to be a true asset to the&nbsp;girls&nbsp;golf team.&nbsp;As her second season at PVHS&nbsp;comes to a close, her love for the game is only growing stronger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;This was&nbsp;Cox\u2019s&nbsp;best season yet. She played well while also facing&nbsp;her career lows. On Oct. 24, 2021, Cox played her best when she shot a 68, which was three under par for that course.&nbsp;She mentioned that tackling the mental aspect of the game was the toughest challenge for her. When she first started&nbsp;playing,&nbsp;she found it extremely difficult to be patient and not expect to&nbsp;play perfectly&nbsp;every time. Learning that golf is very technical and one small&nbsp;mistake in&nbsp;her&nbsp;swing could&nbsp;make&nbsp;a significant impact&nbsp;was&nbsp;very hard&nbsp;for her. Another obstacle&nbsp;that&nbsp;Cox, as well as many student athletes, are&nbsp;faced with is balancing her sport and school. Although&nbsp;school is&nbsp;still a lot to juggle with golf, Cox&nbsp;has&nbsp;a modified&nbsp;class&nbsp;schedule to make more time for&nbsp;practice&nbsp;and playing.&nbsp;Cox says, \u201cOverall, it was a very successful and fun year.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cOverall, it was a very successful and fun year.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><cite>Nancy cox<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Cox loved competing at&nbsp;States where the competition&nbsp;was&nbsp;very&nbsp;strong. She&nbsp;enjoys&nbsp;playing with people who are better than her because&nbsp;it drives her to work harder. She commented, \u201cIt is so special to be able to compete&nbsp;and prove what I am capable of.\u201d Her goals for the future are to win larger tournaments and shoot lower scores so she&nbsp;can&nbsp;begin thinking about where she wants to play in college.&nbsp;She loves the competition and opportunities she gets from&nbsp;golfing.&nbsp;Cox says that she loves&nbsp;her&nbsp;team because everyone is so supportive and encouraging. She&nbsp;stated, \u201cI will continue to&nbsp;work hard, get better, and be a role model to those who are just getting into golf.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Cox has been playing&nbsp;golf competitively for five years now and plans to one day make a career out of it.&nbsp;Cox was originally inspired to start playing by her dad who is also a golfer. She wanted to make the high school team and eventually compete at a higher level.&nbsp;She hopes to play golf in college, and if she does not continue playing after that, she would love to be a teaching professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Emma Jabbour As fall sports are officially wrapping up, many athletes are reflecting on their seasons.
