elliesticha.com
My love for golf started at an early age. Entering school a year ahead of my peers, I have grown accustomed to interacting and competing with people who are older than me; an asset that has been beneficial to my golf game. I have participated in many golf tournaments over the years and can honestly say I learn something at every turn and can't wait to join a collegiate team and absorb as much information as I can to help take my game to the next level. I focus my tournament selection on difficulty and strength of field rather than trying to achieve and maintain a certain ranking. Additionally, I compete in as many 6,000+ yard tournaments as possible during club season but I admittedly enjoy the high school season more due to the team atmosphere. Throughout high school, I have followed a number of women's college golf teams on social media and the one thing I love to see is how much fun they are having. Whether they are practicing, working out or spending off-time together, they really seem to care about one another and enjoy each other's company. I can't wait to share my experiences with my new teammates.
