How I Got Here
Transferring from a D3 college, to a D1 university playing in the ACC (which is arguably the best conference in the country) was a difficult decision and transition to make, but it was best one for my long term goals.

I’ve been lucky enough to coach many professional and elite amateur golfers over my career. Out of them all, Rylee is at the top of my list when it comes to being driven and dedicated to her craft. She has worked countless hours in order to ascend from an average high school player to the #1 ranked player in the country (D3 – Centre College) before transferring to the University of Louisville. During her time at U of L, she qualified and competed in every tournament shooting a low round of 66 and finished as high as T9 against the some of the best players in the country. As she transitions to professional golf, it is my opinion, that she will succeed at the highest level given enough time and support.

About Me
Pursuing My Dreams
Like you, I have goals I want to achieve and dreams I want to see realized. However, without meaningful support, it will be virtually impossible to pursue them. Fortunately, many of the people I’ve contacted have shown great interest in assisting me with these goals. Since my days as a junior golfer, it has been my dream to become a professional golfer. My love of the game started on my local public Par 3 course, and it has grown exponentially as I competed throughout high school and college. Transferring from a D3 college, where I was ranked the #1 female player in the country (and was named Ping WGCA D3 Player of the Year), to a D1 university playing in the ACC (which is arguably the best conference in the country) was a difficult decision and transition to make, but it was the best one for my long term goals. As my college career has now ended, I am excited to begin my professional career, after graduating with my MSBA in June 2024. My plan is to play on the Women’s All Pro Tour starting in April, local professional tournaments, and LPGA Tour Qualifying School in the fall. I am confident that I will be able to excel in these tournaments since I will be focusing my full attention on my golf career.
Objective
Continue to pursue a career in golf by playing at the professional level upon completion of my of my Spring 2024 college season. My dedication and perseverance, as well as my acquired skills, allowed me to rise from Division III college golf to a Division 1 athlete, competing at the highest levels. With a focus on analytics and the continued use of technology, combined with my grit and determination, I will continue to develop as a player to achieve success as a professional golfer
