CHEBOYGAN â Elliott Schryer never had the intention of playing golf competitively.
But last July, something changed.

Schryer, then enjoying his summer vacation, was with his grandfather Earl Parsons, who happens to be Cheboyganâs boys golf coach. The two ended up playing multiple times at the Cheboygan Golf & Country Club, but grandpa saw some potential in his grandson.
By the end of July, Schryer wasnât just playing golf for fun.
He was playing because he wanted to be good.
âHe made me want to play (golf) and got me into it,â Schryer said of his grandfather. âItâs easy (to work with him) because I know him well, and itâs easy to learn from him since heâs also a really good golfer."
From those summer days on the course with his grandfather to the present, Schryer, now a sophomore, has transformed himself into one of the top players in the Cheboygan program, performing at a level nobody would've expected just a few months ago. Schryerâs rise has been impressive, as he recently fired a personal-best 86 and finished 12th at the Grayling Invitational on Monday, May 11.

At the Northern Shores Conference championships at the Cheboygan Golf & Country Club on Wednesday, May 13, Schryer, who started the season as the No. 6-seeded player on the squad, competed as the No. 2 and finished in the top 25.
Thereâs plenty Schryer has learned from his grandpa, a former Northern Michigan Open champion, but perhaps the most important trait is between the ears.
âIt's the mental game,â Schryer said. âIf I hit a bad shot, just forget about it and hit the next shot.â
Cheboygan sophomore Elliott Schryer watches his tee shot on the first hole at the Northern Shores Conference boys golf finals at the Cheboygan Golf & Country Club on Wednesday, May 13. Getting serious about golf while playing with his grandpa and Cheboygan golf coach Earl Parsons last July, Schryer has progressed into one of the top players in the program in a short time span.
As someone whoâs thrived in golf for decades, Parsons knows itâs not easy for an inexperienced golfer to find success quickly. But with his grandson, Parsons was confident there would be a breakthrough.
âHeâs a good athlete. It starts with that â and he likes to learn. Thatâs the key,â Parsons said. âWhen you teach him something, he remembers it. When he hits a bad shot, he knows why he hit a bad shot, and he can try to figure it out not to do it again."
Seeing how Schryer has performed well so quickly, Parsons is one proud grandfather, especially knowing thereâs more time that the two will get to work together on the course.
âI was glad when he took more interest in it and got serious. When he came out this year, I had no expectations,â Parsons said. âHeâs going to continue to get better and better and better."

Once next spring arrives, Schryer will look to play at a high level. But for a kid who decided to give golf a go because of a close family member, heâs thrilled to have grandpa by his side for a couple more years.
âIt means everything to be with him,â Schryer said. âI wouldnât want it to be anyone else."
