Kickstart my Hart: an athlete’s journey from the rink to the links
How Ryan Hart went from an undersized hockey player to a Division I golfer February 15, 2021 | 11:42pm EST In the golf world, Ryan Hart was a late bloomer because he didn’t compete until high school.
Ryan Hart was always small.
Whether on the hockey rink, soccer field, baseball diamond or golf course, he was always a diminutive presence. But his height never deterred him from competing.
He was once a 4-foot-11-inch middle school hockey player. Now, the blonde-haired Ryan is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and entering his freshman spring on the Florida men’s golf team. He didn’t start playing golf competitively until he was 13.
