Athlete profile: Christian Ostberg

by Annabel Schneider

Freshman Christian Ostberg has been playing golf since he was four or five and this year he is excited to be playing on Darien’s Boys Varsity Golf Team. When asked how he got into golf Christian said, “My dad played and it was just kind of a family activity.”
“I like golf because it is a challenge and it is very rewarding to succeed,” Ostberg said.
This year Christian’s personal goal is to shoot a couple of rounds under par. As a team he hopes to win the state championship.
Christian started off the season with an injury. He could not play for the first week but fortunately was able to play in the first match. “I slowly got back in and was ready for our first match. I was a little rusty in the beginning, but I got it back.” Christian shot a 37 and Darien won the match. Darien has had one other match and won that one as well. Blue Wave Golf has a busy week with a match today (4/22), Wednesday (4/24), and Thursday (4/25). Make sure to check out the sports blog to continue to follow Christian and the rest of the golf team.
