Boston Bittle doesn’t chase perfection on the golf course, he chases purpose.
A senior at Cushing High School, Bittle has spent years refining his game as the team’s No. 3 bag, learning that success in golf isn’t just measured by scores, but by mindset. Through early mornings, long practices, and pressure-filled tournaments, he’s built his game on consistency, positivity, and something deeper than competition.
“Things that motivate me are God, my mom and dad, my three sisters, and all my friends.”
That foundation shows every time he steps onto the course. Whether he’s playing a familiar fairway or exploring a new course with his teammates, one of his favorite parts of the sport, Bittle carries himself with steady confidence and humility.
He draws inspiration from professional golfer Scottie Scheffler, not just for his talent, but for his perspective.
“My identity isn’t about a golf score. All I’m trying to do is glorify God, and that is why I am here.”
That mindset has shaped how Bittle approaches both victory and defeat. While winning feels good, he values the relationships built through competition just as much.
“Every opponent I’ve played with has been really fun. Even though getting beat sucks, you’re happy for them for playing good.”
Off the course, Bittle is a member of Cushing FFA and works to stay ahead in the classroom, especially during a busy tournament schedule. Teachers like Ms. Ailey Haley and Ms. Starks have played a key role in supporting him along the way.
His journey hasn’t been without challenges. Constant coaching changes over the years have tested the team’s adaptability, but Bittle has remained focused, always encouraging those around him, including teammate Ayla, whose rapid improvement he believes deserves more recognition.
As his high school career comes to a close, Bittle understands what it truly means to represent something bigger than himself.
“Representing my school and community means I’m carrying more than just my own goals, I’m reflecting the values, reputation, and spirit of the people behind me.”
