What is your favourite hole on our course?
My favourite hole at Ladies’ is hole #17 - it’s such a pretty hole with the trees framing it, particularly in the fall when the
leaves start to turn colour. While it’s a short par four, it requires a great deal of accuracy and meticulous positioning off the
tee. I also really appreciate how challenging the approach shot is, even with a short iron or wedge in hand, with its shallow,
well-protected green. It’s a clever little hole.
Who is your favourite golfer?
All time, my favourite golfers are Annika Sorenstam and Tiger Woods. Their dominance in the sport has been incredible,
and the footprint they are still leaving on the game is profound. Both embody a strong work ethic, steely focus, competitive
drive, and raw talent that is seldom seen at that level. I also love watching the amazing talents of Brooke Henderson, Alena
Sharp and Mackenzie Hughes.
What/when was your best golf moment or memory of all time?
When I was taking up the game as a youngster, I played most of my golf with my grandparents, so I really cherish those
memories, and I still absolutely love sharing a round with them. Though, there was one occasion that sticks out in my mind
as a special moment which came during a playing lesson with a student. She was working on her alignment and aim and
after several holes with my assistance, it was her turn to take her set up position independently. She selected her club, got
herself set up, looked back at me for assurance (I gave a thumb up) and made her swing. The ball ended up in the hole. It
was her first ace.
What/where is your dream course?
The list is long. I love views of water, mountain, and vistas coupled with
impeccable conditions. Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Cabot, Chambers Bay,
Kapalua, to name a few.
What is your favourite item currently in the golf shop?
Sun Bum Sunscreen. I am needing it now more than ever!
