Get to Know Me! ⛳️✨
You probably know I’ve started a new role at Chepstow Golf Centre, but here’s a deeper dive into what drives me and the people who inspire me.
1. Coaching has always been my dream 🎯
Ever since I hit my first ball at the driving range at age 7, I knew I wanted to be a golf coach. I rushed into school the next day telling everyone I was going to teach golf one day! Every time I hit a bump on this journey, I think back to that little girl with her big dreams, and it keeps me going.
2. Making golf inclusive for everyone 🙌
Growing up, I often felt excluded from opportunities at my local club because golf was so focused on men. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating a space where everyone feels welcome, especially women. Golf is for everybody, and my mission is to build a community that believes in that too!
3. Golf brought us together 💕
I actually met my partner when we were juniors at the same golf club, and occasionally steps into the role of caddy! It’s been amazing to share my love for the game with someone who gets my sense of humor and always keeps me smiling. He’s an incredible support both on and off the course, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have him by my side.
4. My Papa, my other caddy 👴⛳️
My Papa has always supported my golfing journey, and he’s my biggest fan. One of my favorite memories is surprising him with tickets to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth for his birthday. Watching the pros together was amazing, and it felt so special to finally give something back to the man who’s been there through every step of my career. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
5. Friendships off the course 🥂
Ive got a small but mighty group of friends who’ve been with me through it all. Growing up, no one at school understood why I loved golf so much (it wasn’t exactly the go-to sport for girls in my area). I met one of my best friends through golf, and another during a stint working at a rum bar in Cheltenham. They’ve always had my back and supported my passion.
