NEW MIDDLETOWN, OH –  In the latest Springfield Golf Player Profile, fans got an in-depth look at one of the most promising young athletes in the community. Sophomore golfer Cooper Ensley shared insights about his journey, family, and passion for the sport.

Ensley, who started golfing at a very young age, attributes much of his current success and dedication to the unwavering support of his family. “They mean everything to me,” Ensley stated. “My mom and dad and my whole family have always been here since the start.”
The Ensley family’s collective love for golf is evident, with Cooper often competing alongside his brother Jackson. Their supportive dynamic extends to their grandparents, who frequently watch their games despite the nerve-wracking nature of the sport.

As the Springfield Tigers gear up for sectionals this Thursday at Salem Hills, the spotlight remains on Cooper and his impressive gameplay. With a low score of 37 this season and an average score of 42, Ensley has shown consistent improvement and dedication. Notably, he has also managed to outscore his older brother Jackson in one of the matches, a feat he proudly shared.
Looking ahead, Cooper aims to shoot a personal best of 79 at sectionals and hopes Jackson moves on to districts. “I’m ready to go and shoot a good number,” he said confidently. Discussing his experience at Springfield High School, Ensley highlighted the strong sense of community among students and residents. “It’s awesome. Everyone knows each other, and everyone’s supportive,” he remarked.

Ensley, who practices almost daily during the summer, usually at the Lake Club, remains focused on honing his skills. His favorite golf ball is the Titleist Pro V1x, and his favorite course is the Lake Club, where he enjoys unlimited practice opportunities. Cooper’s role model in golf is Bryson DeChambeau, who inspires him with his long drives and strategic approach to the game. As the profile concluded, Ensley reiterated the importance of family and reflected on his journey ahead. “Always maintain that family importance to you,” advised Emily Gorup, affirming the young golfer’s values and dedication. With both individual ambitions and team goals set high, Cooper Ensley is undoubtedly a player to watch in the Springfield Tigers golf squad’s upcoming sectionals and beyond.
