Q: What is your favorite golf course?
NS: I would say Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club in Powell is my favorite golf course
Q: What’s on your playlist right now?
NS: That’s tough, I don’t really have a set playlist. I listen to a really wide range of songs just depending on the day.
Q: If you had to play a round of golf with only one club, what club is it and why?
NS: I would play it with a hybrid. It’s probably the most versatile club in my bag so I think it would give me the best chance to hit all the shots.
Q: When did you start playing golf and what got you interested in the game?
NS: I started playing when I was seven years old when my dad introduced me to the game. He used to take me to get ice cream after I’d play or practice so that was my initial motivation.
Q: If you could play golf with anyone, who would be your dream foursome?
NS: My dream foursome would be myself, Nelly Korda, Tiger Woods, and Viktor Hovland. We would play at the Old Course at St. Andrew’s!
Q: What was the highlight of your summer golf experience?
NS: The highlight of my summer golf experience was making it to the Drive, Chip, and Putt National Finals. I went to a sudden death playoff to make it which was really cool.
Q: What do you like to do outside of golf?
NS: I like to listen to music and I do a lot of dancing too!
Q: Tell us a fun fact about yourself?
NS: Whenever I’m playing in a big tournament and it’s the last day, I have a lucky golf shirt that I wear.
Q: You just finished a tournament in first place, how do you celebrate?
NS: After winning a tournament I always get ice cream! It’s like that initial motivation from my dad and it turned into a tradition for us.
