Where It All Started
Right before my sixth birthday, my parents took me to a sporting goods store to size me for a new "big girl" bike for my birthday. I walked by a set of pink junior golf clubs and told my parents, I don't want a new bike, I want to play golf. I haven't looked back since.
My first experience at a golf camp was being the lone girl there. My parents picked me up a few hours later after I had dominated the boys. That was the first day that I knew could do anything.
I'm not afraid of a challenge and I'm excited to compete at Tennessee Tech University.
