"Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.”
- Arnold Palmer

Gerad Matthew Lee

Gerad's story is one of passion, hard work, and perseverance. Born and raised in Northern California, he is a rising star in the Bay Area golf scene, known for his talent and unwavering dedication to the game. Gerad's parents, Filipino-Chinese immigrants, settled in the Bay Area, and from an early age, they instilled in him the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

Gerad's love for golf began on his second birthday when his Dad handcrafted him a putter out of wood. From that moment on, Gerad was hooked, spending countless hours practicing and playing golf. It all started on the putting greens at the Spanish Bay Golf Links in Pebble Beach.

Since 2019, Gerad has competed in over 176 tournaments, with 21 wins and 87 top 5 finishes. Gerad has qualified to participate in various team events, such as the PGA Jr League (2020) and the AJGA California Cup (2023). Gerad was also a regional finalist for the Drive Chip and Putt in 2022.

Gerad is currently the co-captain of the Monta Vista High School team and will graduate in June 2025. Gerad aspires to play college golf at a top program where he can nurture his intellectual curiosity and channel his passion for competition. Ultimately, he wants to pursue a degree in Finance and/or Business, leveraging his skills on and off the course to achieve his dreams.

Acknowledgments from Gerad

I would like to express my deep gratitude to my parents, Gilbert and Abigail, for their unconditional love and support. They have always been there for me, taking me to practice and tournaments, and cheering me on through every win and loss. I could not have come this far without them, and I am so grateful for all that they have done for me.

I also want to thank my sister, Addison, for being a constant source of inspiration. Her dedication and hard work have shown me what it means to strive for excellence, and I am so lucky to have her as my sister.

My coaches have played an invaluable role in my journey, and I am deeply grateful for their guidance and expertise. Coach Joanne Lee has helped me improve my game overall, while Coach Ted Oh has taught me the nuances of the golf swing fundamentals. I would also like to sincerely thank Coach Brian Inkster and the Los Altos Golf & Country Club for their unwavering support and for inviting me to be part of the Inkster Merit Program.

As I reflect on my journey, I realize that I have had the privilege of learning from so many talented coaches. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of them for taking the time to teach me the game they love. I know that I am the sum total of all their knowledge and experience, and I would not be where I am today without their support and patience. Thank you to Jessica Dailleboust, Chris Mullane, Lionel Rodgers, James Park, Paulette Pera, Regan DeGuzman, Stan Dumdumaya, Cliff Bounds, Gary Nelson, Terry Sullivan, Matthew Tait, Jim Collins (US Kids), Shelley O’Keefe (US Kids), Samantha Clawson (US Kids), Angel Martinez and Jason Agrella.

To all my golfing buddies, thank you for your friendship and support. Your encouragement and camaraderie have made this journey even more enjoyable, and I am grateful for our memories together.

Finally, I would like to thank God for all the blessings in my life. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunities that I have had, and I know that none of this would have been possible without Him.
