“This is a program built on expectations,” he said. “No matter who’s on the team, the standard remains the same. We hang banners here.
“Golf is different from other sports—we compete as individuals, but at the end of the day, we’re here to win a championship as a team.”
Heise has had a club in his hands for as long as he can remember.
“My dad played college golf, and he got me into the game,” he said. “Golf has been a huge part of our family bond, and I fell in love with the sport.”
With college golf on the horizon, Heise is nearing a big decision about where he’ll play next. But beyond the course, his long-term aspirations lie in a different field.
“I want to do something in tech,” he said. “AI (artificial intelligence) has grown so fast, and I could see myself pursuing a career in that. I’m really fascinated by what’s happening in that space.”
For Heise, golf has been about more than just competition. Under the guidance of Coach Tanner Field, the B3rdmovement has become a defining philosophy in his life.
“It’s all about priorities—God first, others second, and ourselves third,” he said. “I apply it in golf, but also in my personal life.”
As Heise reflects on his TWCA journey, it’s not just the wins or titles that stand out—it’s the moments in between.
“It’s the bus rides, road trips, and all the jokes,” he said with a smile. “When you’re part of a team of five, you get really close with your teammates. Those bonds will last forever.”
