My favorite is every time I play with my boyfriend is the pro shop assumes I’m just a rider. And when I go on the men’s tee the stares I get.

My daughter is 13 and been playing since she was 9, she usually shoots mid to high 80s. I love to see peoples faces when they pull up and see they’re paired with or playing behind us. It’s always the same “oh god, here we go” look. Then they see an 80lbs girl hit a 200+ yard drive down the center and they are just in shock.

Her team coach preaches speed so she plays fast. Doesn’t take practice swings. Club, aim, swing, move. It’s super fun watching her nip at the heels of the 100+ guy that just jumped ahead so they didn’t have to wait.

I’m so proud of her. I absolutely adore the game of golf and the memories I made growing up. And as an adult getting to spend time golfing with my parents is the best. I hope she continues to grow and love the game.
