Q&A Session
How old were you when you first started playing golf?
I first started playing golf at 8 years old.
What made you or inspired you to take up golf?
My dad played golf and bought me a set of clubs and my first experience was Girls Golf Rocks which was held at Dereham golf club.
What do you enjoy most about playing golf?
I like the competitiveness of playing against people and working to improve my game but also the social side. It also helps me to get my steps in every day!
What do you think is the best reason to play golf at Barnham Broom?
I like that there are two courses both with a different set of challenges along with good practice facilities and the membership is very reasonable (so my parents say!).
Which course do you prefer – Pennink or Steel?
I prefer the Pennink course layout more as there is slightly more variety in the holes and it is probably a tougher test of your game.
What is your favourite golf hole at Barnham Broom?
My favourite holes are the 7th, 9th and 17th on the Pennink and the 5th and 18th on the Steel. All these are tough holes with either water, elevated tees or risk/reward choices of shot.
What clubs do you have in the bag?
Cobra Darkspeed driver, Taylormade QI35 fairways/hybrids, Mizuno JPX Irons, Titleist Vokey wedges and an Odyssey Two Ball putter.
What is your favourite golf club in your bag and why?
My QI35 hybrid is my favourite as it is quite easy to hit and can always be relied on off the tee if I’ve fallen out with my driver!
What do you need to play your best golf?
A positive mindset and focus.
Who is your favourite professional golf player and what makes them your choice?
Rory McIlroy as he has won all there is to win.
What is your best achievement in golf so far?
Playing for the Norfolk County girls in east region match days where we compete over 3 days against other counties in the region off scratch.
What is your ambition for your golf?
To become a single-figure handicapper and keep constantly improving my overall game.
