Eva-Grace is a 12 year old junior golfer, who in 2019 aged 9 Eva had a holiday in Cornwall overlooking the #pitchandputt golf course, she played a couple of rounds of #crazygolf with her dad and decided she wanted to have a go properly. That same  year armed with a cheap set of #juniorgolfclubs her dad popped her up to the #golfrange @pytchleygolflodge for a swing about. She proved to be a little natural, could hold the clubs correctly and had a lovely technique. She then visited the @AIGwomensopen at the beginning of August and had a lesson with a pro who said she showed real potential. The second holiday that year to Cornwall was for her tenth birthday and she spent hours on the pitch and putt with her dad and found she really enjoyed it. She continued to practice on the range sporadically, before covid lockdowns occurred. During the lockdown she found golf was really for her, with #golfranges and #golfcourses still open she was able to practice a lot before having her first actual golf lesson as part of Kettering golf club in October 2020. She continued having lessons with the academy and joined up with @TheShiresJuniorgolftour Bronze handicap division at the beginning of 2021, this saw her qualify in the top three of her division for the summer series and win her place to play @trumpturnburyscotland. She again played the winter section of the tour through 2021/22 and won the order of merit for the season. She had also branched out by this time joining @NorthamptonGolfClub and being coached by @paulhodgkiss_golf. Throughout 2022 she has played in Northants County golf matches, won numerous events at Northampton and won the order of merit for the summer series with @theshiresjuniorgolftour where she won a opportunity to play with LPGA and LET player @charleyhull.

Eva-Grace would love to become a female pro in later life. She is home educated as she found she was dyslexic with a slower working memory, currently she is working on GCSE maths, English and Business studies which she will sit early next year aged 13 and she wants to take Science (but not biology ), psychology, law and marine science in the following years. She does her work with online classes during the morning before golf most afternoons…she does also state she isn’t a fair weather only golfer!

Eva and Elexis followed each others progress on their #socialmediaplatforms and she along with everyone was heartbroken when Elexis passed away. We are honoured to have her as part of the foundation as our Ambassador, she will be doing lots with us over the coming year. Please say a very warm welcome and follow her on @evagrace_girljuniorgolfer Instagram!
