About me

I started playing golf when I was five. Recently, I started volunteering with the LPGA Jr. program and mentoring girls aged 7–9. This summer, I plan to help coach golfers with special needs. Another passion of mine is lacrosse—I play on both my school and club teams.

I am small for my age, but I never let that stop me. I always say, ‘I’m tiny but mighty!’ I was born with a sensory issue and was sensitive to many things

About me

I started playing golf when I was five. Both my parents are golfers—in fact, my mom says I was her inspiration to start Marie Birdie. What I like most about golf is that you don’t want to be perfect. I’m also in an a cappella choir. I love to read and listen to the 30+ podcasts I subscribe to

When I was seven, we discovered that I had type 1 diabetes. I wear a continuous glucose monitor that measures my blood sugar levels.

About me

I was about two years old when I first held a golf club and instantly connected with it. I enjoy meeting new friends and traveling to explore new courses around the globe. When I’m not golfing, I run for my school’s cross-country and track and field teams, and I love playing pickleball too!

I’m a pro traveler and can navigate airports with ease. I enjoy creating my own jewelry, and I love to debate—especially with my dad, who’s a lawyer.

South Carolina

About me

I started playing golf when I was 8. My parents were both collegiate golfers, so golf runs deep in our family. When I’m not taking dance breaks and having fun with my friends or family on the course, I compete in many tournaments, including The Tour UA, Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, U.S. Kids Golf, South Carolina Junior Golf Association, and PKB Girls Golf Tour.

About me

When my dad started playing golf, I asked if I could join him—mainly because I wanted to ride in the golf cart. Later on, I began taking lessons and playing in tournaments. My greatest achievements include winning The Junior Honda Classic, the First Tee Doral Junior Classic, several U.S. Kids Golf Regional Championships, and competing in the Florida Junior Golf Tour.

I started playing golf at 5 years old and competed in my first tournament when I was 6. I’m the first golfer in my family—and I love it!

Massachusetts

About me

My dad is an avid golfer, so I’ve always been around the sport. When I was seven, he signed me up for a camp at our home club, and I instantly became obsessed! I love golf because you’re constantly challenging yourself—both against the course and your mental game. I’ve discovered that I’m a very driven person, and what makes golf unique for me is figuring out the best shot or approach and letting the magic happen.

Being from New England, I love skiing in the winter. I also participate in Irish step dancing.

Georgia

About me

I started playing golf when I was just one year old! Both of my parents play, and my mom is currently an LPGA coach. But it wasn’t until I was about five that I truly fell in love with the game. Golf is especially fun when I make birdies and shoot a low score. When I’m not golfing, I enjoy building things outside and playing the piano.

I am a yellow belt in Taekwondo! I love the discipline and focus it brings to my mindset, both in school and in sports.
