Watching old videos of Jack Nicklaus play that my dad showed me and watching The Short Game. It's so cool that my family and I have become friends with Avery Zweig who was on The Short Game!

My dad would take me and my sister to the golf course all the time and he would reward us with Hubba Bubba bubble gum and Nestle chocolate milk when we had good practice sessions.

My sister Emerson or my friend Morgan

Mike McGetrick

I love bombing drives, playing well, making long putts and winning tournaments!

Making the big dawg GROWL - practicing working the ball left and right with my driver

To recover after hitting a bad shot or come back the next day after having a bad round. I've always had trouble controlling my emotions on the golf course, but I've gotten a lot better at keeping my emotions in check over the past year, which has improved my scores.

Making the DCP National Finals

Practice the little details. Something as simple as how the announcer pronounces your name can throw you off. Ask your parent to practice announcing you while mispronouncing your name to prepare you for anything. My dad would do that to help me prepare for DCP and I always thought it was silly, but it actually works. Practice going through the different rounds on your practice facility and score yourself. And if you don't make the next round don't give up because there's always next year.

The feeling of victory and knowing that I'm about to out-perform my sister.

In the local qualifier - I remember having a Mango Chainsaw flavored liquid death (a sparkle water) after my win. In my subregional qualifier - I made sure to putt with my taco balls, which powered me to victory. In my regional qualifier - I wore my all-whites, and I hit all three drives over 250!

2016 - I sunk my 30-footer to win and beat my sister even though I was actually too young to compete. 2017 - I did not make it out of the first round. 2018 - I made it to the regional finals. There was a massive storm, and I did not make it to Augusta. 2019 - I did not make it out of the subregional. 2021 - I did not make it out of the subregional. 2022 - I did really well in the subregional but missed out on advancing to the Regional finals by a scorecard playoff. 2023 - You know what happened!!

I watched a bit of last year. Two years ago, I watched my sister, Emerson, compete in the finals. It was hard for me to watch as I knew I had the ability to be there. I did learn a lot, though. Emerson finished 4th after being tied for first entering the putting section. She blew both putts by the hole when she didn't need to. I won't make that same mistake. Trust me.

Driving, Putting, Chipping

Yes - I went in 2022 to watch my sister, Emerson, compete in the finals. We also got to watch all three rounds of the ANWA, which was really fun. And we got to go to the Monday practice round with my sister and my friend, Mia Hammond.

Headcovers!! I consider myself a headcover collector, and all of my headcovers have names and unique personalities. I have a monkey named Madame Jüa, a ram named Madame Battering Ram, a sheep named Madame Shawnese (after Shawn the Sheep), a shark named Madame Maneater, a bear named Madame BeWare, a dog named Madame Jüpop, and a lion named John Daly.

I watched the John Daly 30 for 30 on how he won the PGA Championship, and I thought it was so cool how he just showed up without practicing and won the whole darn thing. Now that's a slay!!

When Jordan Speith won the British Open I remember that he hit his a drive way off line and he was able to drop the ball super far from the hole and somehow made a great putt to save bogey.

John Daly cause he has personality and he wears wacky outfits. Since I was little, my dad has always compared me to John Daly for how I play on the course and how I behave off the course.

Lydia Ko because her name is so fun to say!

Me, of course. Because I've got swag.

Jack Nicklaus comes to our club each year, and I have seen him almost every year since 2015. It is fun to spend time with him and his wife, Barbara. They are both big Buckeye fans, and we can all root against That Team Up North.

Michael Jordan (as long as he gave me a free pair of Jordan golf shoes to play in and cause he likes to gamble on the golf course), CJ Stroud, and my friend Judah Desser

I like to play with even number Taco Golf Balls because my personal trainer is obsessed with tacos and has inspired me to always play with taco balls. I used them in putting and chipping when I advanced to the finals.

Yes. Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09, and Ultimate Golf. Also, I use my TrackMan a lot, and I play JunkYard, and Streets of Neon.

Five Guys - it is my go-to victory dinner! My order is a cheeseburger with pickles and ketchup, fries with vinegar, and a chocolate, peanut butter, and banana milkshake to top it off.

History

College football because I love the intensity of watching it and being on the edge of your seat during a good game.

Shawshank Redemption (favorite), Pulp Fiction, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and High Anxiety.

Kelsea Ballerini

Scarecrow and Mrs.King, The Mentalist, M*A*S*H, Police Squad, and South Park

CapCut

👻

I enjoy baking bread, making balloon animals, shopping, and hanging out with friends.

Jesus Christ

Stupid is as stupid does - Forrest Gump

I want to be a marine biologist because I am fascinated by sharks.

I am a lean, mean, fightin machine. People describe me as a combination of John Daly and John McEnroe. However, I'd say being kind, caring, and compassionate are my best qualities. My mom thinks I'm more like Cartman in South Park; I do consider him to be my spirit animal. I am very competitive and don't like to lose. I always put my friends first, and I am a people person. Overall, I'd say I'm a shoe-addicted, Stanley-loving, Lululemon girl.
