Best memory with your team: I have a lot of great memories with my team. Although it’s not the best for me, it’s one my team never lets me live down. My very first golf match ever, I did bad on one hole and broke down crying hysterically.
Favorite motivational quote: “Man up.” – My coach would tell me this when I was upset with my performance to get me back in the game.
Favorite song before the game: “I’m Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO – My team would sing this song because we all liked it and it would cheer us up. It was also funny because my coach hated it so we did it to kind of irritate him, haha.
What have you gained from the experience of your season: I’ve gained a lot of things from golf. It’s more than just a sport, my team is my family. They were and still are always there for me if I need them, and vice versa. Golf also teaches you mental and emotional strength, because golf is a very mental sport. You really have to keep your head in the game in order to be a good player.
