Golfing and caddie background:
Used to play golf professionally. My husband was a caddie at the time on the LPGA Tour, and then introduced me to caddying. My first caddying job was working for Mardi Lunn from Australia, which was probably the easiest job in the world. I caddied for her for a year, and became addicted to caddying as a job.
What do you love about caddying?
I love being a part of a team, and still being involved with golf daily, which was what I have always wanted to do since I was a little girl. I love the adrenaline of being in contention, and that feeling of being a part of that.
Interesting caddie story:
Telling Ashleigh Buhai at the final round, on the tee at the Women's British Open; win or lose there's always booze, which made her laugh and settled both of our nerves.
