Despite his young age, Upchurch has already made a name for himself on the golf course, thanks to his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication. He quickly fell in love with the sport and began practicing regularly in order to achieve the success that he has gained this year.

Since then, Upchurch has continued to dominate on the golf course. He has won many impressive awards during his career as well, including the 2020 Golf Week Junior Tour Open, where he won first place among many other talented athletes.

Off the course, Upchurch is equally impressive. He not only is a talented golfer, but also places emphasis on the relationships he builds both on and off the course. Doing team bonding events and spending time with his teammates off the course is beneficial for the success of the team as a whole. Because of the extensive hours spent working on his technique, as well as the positive team environment, the boy’s golf team will go far in the state tournament and hopefully win a title for Hamilton Southeastern.

With his impressive skills and drive to succeed, there’s no doubt that Upchurch has a bright future ahead of him in the world of golf. For now, he will focus on the success of his team for the rest of this season, as well as continuing to improve his game. Be sure to keep an eye out for this talented young athlete as he continues to make his mark on the course.

Upchurch’s win is a direct result of the democratic voting process taken on Southeastern Sports Network’s Instagram page where the students of HSE vote on who should win. Stay tuned for next week!
