LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Member (Alumnus)
My dad took me to a few charity scrambles when I was in elementary school and I loved it when he let me hit the ball sometimes. In 2013, when I was in eighth grade, I started taking lessons.
My favorite thing about golf is the people I get to meet. I love playing with other girls, meeting new friends and playing with my friends in Special Olympics. In Phoenix, we can play golf all year round, which is very cool. Tournaments are awesome, too, because I love hanging out with my teammates and meeting even more people. I really like to travel and play at different courses. Mountain courses are my favorite but I really like beach courses too, like Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines.
I’ve met so many friends through Girls Golf. I like that we played golf and did other fun activities together, too. I learned a lot about golf, leadership, confidence and life through Girls Golf.
Golf is a fun game to play, good exercise, and a great way to hang out with friends and meet new people. As you play more and get better, you build your confidence.
Continue growing Girls Golf where learning to play is fun. Golf can be such an inclusive sport. If you can hit the ball and keep pace, you can play with anyone. You can then be included in golf events with friends, family and co-workers. Playing golf opens up a world of very exciting opportunities, like traveling to the coolest places on earth and meeting the most interesting people along the way.
I am living my #LittleGirlBIGDream, which is going to college. It was always my dream, but my parents weren’t sure it was possible since I have Down syndrome. Playing golf made it possible for me when I was offered a golf scholarship. My next BIG Dream is to play golf with Niall Horan.
My dream foursome would be Niall Horan, Nick Jonas, and Zac Efron.
