About Me & Golf

Well, where do we start? My parents have photos and videos of me playing golf as a three year old. We still have my Dad's old clubs that he had cut down for me so I could swing at the ball as a three year old! I have pretty amazing parents!

I don't remember taking the game seriously or even enjoying it much until we moved to a golf course the summer I turned 11. My favorite thing about golf at the time was driving the cart! Once we moved to the course, we had a cart in our garage! I remember my Dad telling me, "The only people who can drive the golf cart are golfers." And I became a golfer...

I played in high school and was recruited by some colleges on the west side of the state. At the time I only wanted to go to school and be a college student. After my freshman year I realzied how much I missed the game and how much I missed being on a team. I walked onto the team at EMU. I spent four years practicing, working out, and developing my mental game! Sounds kind of hokey, right? It's not. So much of golf is being able to turn the game on and off at different times throughout your round. Not many people, if anyone, can concentrate for more than 4 hours without a single lapse in concentration! The trials, struggles, highs and lows of those four years helped me become the person I am today!

I played in 2 tournaments in those 4 years. One my first year on the team at Western Michigan and one my second year on the team in Rio Verde, Arizona. We were on a team trip for spring break out there and the girls ahead of me in the lineup were injured or sick. I got my one shot and I soaked up the entire opportunity. I got to play a few rounds at Karsten, Arizona State's home course. Describing it as beautiful only says so much.

I finished up my time with EMU golf 3 years ago. Since then I played in a few local tournaments, mostly at my country club and this past summer have joined the Women's Golf Association of Detroit. That has taken me to some amazing golf courses this summer which was what led me to this idea...
