What inspired you to start playing golf and from what age did you start?

I started playing golf when I was 8 years old. Watching my older brother go to the driving range inspired me to give it a try because it looked so fun and exciting. From the moment I started, I fell in love with the game. Since then, golf has become a huge part of my life, and I enjoy playing and practising every day as I continue working towards my goals.

Why did you choose to become a Member at Southport Golf Club?

I chose to become a member at Southport Golf Club because I really enjoy the course and the challenges it offers, and their support towards junior development (free bucket, pennant training), where great facilities are offered – range, large chipping green and putting green – helps me improve as a golfer and pushes me closer to achieving my goals. Since joining, everyone has been so welcoming and supportive, and I’ve enjoyed meeting so many great people at the club. And shoutout to my wonderful coach Ben 😁

Why did you choose to become a Member at Southport Golf Club?

My favourite player is Nelly Korda because of her smooth, effortless swing and the calm confidence she shows under pressure. I also admire her consistency, work ethic, and the way she carries herself on and off the golf course. She inspires me to keep improving my own game and to always compete with confidence.
