Q: What is it like working with coach Menzel and coach Selders?
A: Coach Menzel is constantly supportive. She is good at giving feedback in order to help better my game. I know I need to work on my short game and she has helped me enhance that aspect. She emphasizes the idea of knowing success and this has encouraged me to experience that success. Todd is equally as supportive and he understands which drills help strengthen particular parts of my game.
Q: What led to you to Iowa City and the Hawkeye golf program?
A: I liked the team chemistry that I saw when I came on my visit and the facility really impressed me. The coaching staff was also a persuading factor.
Q: What facet of your game has improved the most since last spring?
A: My wedge game has improved and I feel more comfortable getting up and down from around the green.
