Simply stated, I believe every girl should learn to play golf. It doesn’t matter if it’s competitively or just for fun, what socioeconomic background she comes from, if she’s young or old, if she plays twice a year or every day of the year, but every girl should learn this game and feel confident stepping onto a golf course.

It’s amazing when you grow up how many girls all of the sudden want to learn to play so they can play golf with their boyfriend or husband, play in a company outing, or seal a big business deal over a round of golf. You see, golf can be a valuable skill to have! But, what if golf was already “cool?”

My vision is to glamorize golf and make golf “cool” for girls, because when I first started playing, that wasn’t necessarily the case. Thankfully I stuck with it and found that there is a world of opportunity within this sport. It’s not just about the game itself, it is the whole experience and everything to be learned through it. It’s learning how to work hard and pour your heart into something; it’s learning how to be resilient and overcome adversity; it’s becoming a woman of integrity. It’s developing conversation skills and learning how to hold a real, authentic conversation; It’s learning to network and build high-level business relationships. It’s learning the proper etiquette and how to dress for the occasion.

There truly is no other sport that teaches these life skills, instills character values, and builds confidence quite like this one. My vision is to change the narrative of women’s golf by enabling every girl access to this sport and all the blessings that come from it. Through Played with Heart Inc., I aspire to make this possible by offering several different initiatives or Impactful Ways that will give girls of all demographics and all aspirations the opportunity to learn the game and experience all it has to offer.
