🚨🚨Vulnerable Post Alert 🚨🚨

I’m incredibly grateful to share that I’ve earned my PGA Certification, adding to my Class A LPGA Professional status. 🤩🏌️‍♀️

This past year brought more change than I ever expected. There were moments of uncertainty, difficult decisions, and days when simply putting one foot in front of the other felt like enough. Through it all, one thing remained constant: golf.

Golf has been part of my life for 37 years. It’s been my teacher, my challenge, my escape, and my home. It has carried me through some of life’s highest highs and lowest lows.

This achievement means so much more than another credential. It’s a reminder that growth is still possible after difficult seasons. That you can rebuild. That you can keep learning. That the hard days don’t get the final say.

More than anything, I’m thankful that I get to spend my life sharing this game with others. Whether it’s introducing someone to golf for the very first time, helping a player find confidence, or watching someone accomplish a goal they never thought possible, that’s why I do what I do.

I’m thankful for everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me along the way. Here’s to continuing to learn, grow, and help others discover everything this game has to offer.

Golf has given me so much. I hope to spend the rest of my career giving back to the game that has given so much to me. 💚⛳️
