I started playing golf pretty young. My parents always took my sister and me with them when they would play. I would hit a few shots here and there, but I got my first set of clubs when I was in first grade! I was so excited to use them because I didn’t have to use my mom's or dad’s clubs anymore. I was in gymnastics for about six years before I made the decision to only play golf.
Once I decided that I was going to play golf competitively, it became even more fun! I started competing with my family. You could say it got pretty serious. We still have matches whenever we get the chance to play together, and there’s quite a bit of trash talking. It makes things a little more interesting!
When I started playing in tournaments with other girls my age, I knew I had to keep practicing in order to get better. God has blessed me with the best parents because without them I wouldn’t have played golf, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So for them, I am very thankful.
