My weakness is hitting it straight under pressure.

Almost every woman I've met has encountered bullying.

I always seek people's approval and I'm always never good enough.

I dress differently, I don't conform to what golf is supposed to be.

To be a professional golfer in the 21st century, you must be an athlete.

I probably do more community service than any other professional golfer.

When it comes to the golf industry, I know that people see me as a gimmick.

I've done golf and fitness shoots, but in those I'm still fairly covered up.

You may not even realize how much your off-the-rack clubs are affecting your game.

I always feel like an outcast... it's just always been very different to everyone else.

I was a tomboy. I played football and wasn't afraid to get dirty. Shopping? Not for me.

Growing up, I had a hair condition where my hair would fall out easily, and I had bad asthma.

The gymnastics community is toxic. You just do what they say no matter what. It's really scary.

You know what, I was one of the top 25 amateurs in the world. I had a pretty good college career.

I've never felt like I fit in. I always feel like I'm walking in the wrong direction or swimming upstream.

I'm called rude things, and people say nasty stuff. It's disrespectful, and as women we don't deserve that.

I want people to see that golf is fun and it's cool. You don't have to be a professional golfer to enjoy it.

As my followers know, I'm always looking for ways to improve my game and have a little more fun on the course.

Different women feel empowered in different ways, and it's not right to tell someone what they can and cannot do.

I respect and understand that golf is enveloped in tradition and that certain rules and regulations must be upheld.

I feel like everyone in golf is just playing this part of this perfect golfer when in reality it's nothing like that.

But one of my absolutely favorite things to do is go to comic book stores on the weekends. I'm a huge comic book nerd.

I'm not refined, I'm raw and real and I wear what I want and I have always been so different and golf is not that way.

My strength is short game. I love the creative side to it. You can hit a wedge a million different ways. The flop is my fave.

I may not go down in history as the best female golfer to ever play, however my intent is to do whatever I can to grow the game.

People seem to think I got where I am because of the clothes that I wear. That's unfair to me and unfair to all of my accomplishments.

I do media work but I don't do broadcast on TV. I'm a content producer and creator, so I just go out there and produce awesome content.

Golf is elitist, it's stuffy, it's exclusive and I hate that because I am not that and I was never welcomed in and I'm still not welcomed in.

From the first time I swung a PXG club I have wanted to add them to my bag. They feel incredible and the performance really makes a difference.

Golf is the absolute worst place for me to be because I am the exact opposite of everything that a golfer should encompass, should be, and I'm not.

I'm introverted, and all my friends make fun of me because all I do is work out and play golf. I'm a grandma: stay in most nights and asleep by 9:30.

If professionalism in golf equals athleticism, then athleticism should be promoted and showcased, and that means allowing the clothes that promote it.

When you have a lot of followers, you get the good and bad. So I had a career out of it. But unfortunately, I had people hating on me every single day.

All I ever wanted was to be a golfer on the LPGA tour. That's still my dream, but getting there has turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought.

I love golf, I think it is a great game but I think there are a lot of things that need to change. I think it needs to become more progressive, more inclusive.

It was a hard adjustment my freshman year in college, I was so shy and nervous and had always been around only adults, and then had to be around kids my own age.

I'm a content creator, so I like to read the comments, and I like to engage, because if people aren't interested in what I'm doing, then I'm not doing a good job.

I actually was a competitive gymnast for the first part of my life. From age 6 to 12, I dedicated pretty much everything to that, until I got injured really badly.

It's hard for women every single day; we have to be nice, but not too nice, ambitious, but not too ambitious. It puts a lot of pressure on what we should and can be.

People say I haven't accomplished anything, but I feel like I've done a lot. I'm an ambassador for the Cybersmile Foundation, which is an anti-bullying organization.

I started playing golf after a broken knee led me to quit my career as an elite gymnast. It wasn't long before I became one of the world's top-ranked amateur players.

It's only when we stop looking exclusively to the podium for our heroes and start looking all around us that we'll make the greatest progress toward a better tomorrow.

Every child thrives on encouragement, but beware of forcing it. I've seen too many family relationships crumble because of excessive ambition on the course or the range.

But if I feel comfortable swinging in a short skirt or shorts, if I feel athletic and strong and confident, I can do that, and you shouldn't call me certain names for it.

I want to be less of a role model and more of a mentor. I don't ever want kids to put me on a pedestal and feel like they can't talk or reach out to me. I want to be there for them.

For me, working with kids is one of my favorite ways to give back, and I refuse to let public opinion about whether I'm a 'winner' stop me from being a positive role model and mentor.

Golf is really tricky. I feel like you either have to be a broadcaster, or a professional golfer or a golf instructor. If you're not one of those things you don't really fit in the game.

It's easy to get swayed by advertisements or the latest new gear, but what you think you want could actually rob you of yards and add strokes to your score, based on your personal swing and playing style.

I literally post swing videos. Like, how is that interesting? But I've created such a following, and they're loyal fans. It's really cool to create a community around something I love, and that they love, too.

Everyone knew I was home-schooled. Everyone always said I was weird, and they're kind of right. And I think people can always tell that I'm a weak link. So if you are going to bully someone, I'm an easy target.
