When did you start playing golf?
I began playing golf when I was 8 years old at Forest Heights Country Club’s Junior Championship.
It was a two day tournament at my home course and my parents were interested to see if I would come back for the second day since my first day did not go so well. But I did! Then I truly fell in love with golf when I started playing on my club’s team through PGA Junior League.
