I feel like everyone in golf is just playing this part of this perfect golfer when in reality it's nothing like that.
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'm called rude things, and people say nasty stuff. It's disrespectful, and as women we don't deserve that.
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 always seek people's approval and I'm always never good enough.
I've never felt like I fit in. I always feel like I'm walking in the wrong direction or swimming upstream.
I always feel like an outcast... it's just always been very different to everyone else.
If professionalism in golf equals athleticism, then athleticism should be promoted and showcased, and that means allowing the clothes that promote it.
In the age of millennials, women's rights, and female empowerment, I hope my voice helps to encourage the next generation of great female athletes and golfers to possibly stop social injustices and prejudices from creeping into the game that I fell in love with at such a young age.
I respect and understand that golf is enveloped in tradition and that certain rules and regulations must be upheld.
