After speaking with Mika Jin, our biggest takeaway was gratitude, gratitude, gratitude. We believe her gratitude and perception of the game have made her the bubbly and vibrant golfer she is today. If you’re grateful for the opportunities golf gives you and always try to “love what you do,” you will go a long way—and that’s been witnessed in her journey.
We also learned a lot about being positive even when we aren’t doing well. Even when the outcome isn’t your ideal one, you have to remember you’re still trying your best. If you’re giving it your all, your best is enough.
About the Guest:
Mika Jin is a junior at the woman’s golf team at University of California, Berkeley. Born in Japan, she moved to California at just three years old. The Northern Californian has played for 10 years—and has achieved many admirable accomplishments. Some of these achievements include playing at the U.S. Amateur, qualifying for Four-Ball, and winning the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Tournament twice.
At her sophomore year, Jin led the team in scoring average of 74.0, rounds of par or better (9) and tournaments played (10). Jin finished in fourth place at the Molly Collegiate Invitational at 1-over par and shot a career best 5-under par to finish in a tie for seventh place at the Gunrock Invitational, which is Cal’s best individual round in three seasons. Jin registered two other top-20 finishes, including a tie for 16th at the NCAA Stillwater Regional.
