Catie Craig excited for two passions – golf and architecture – to converge on Augusta National

Usually when the first tolls receive their amateur amateur amateur amateur amateur amateur amateur amateur amateur, they are immediately rejoiced by certain holes in the famous National Television Golf Club, maybe even attending dinner in the historical club Club.

The Catie Craig is excited about all that, but there is another thing on his list of the Anwa Canton.

“I want to see their maintenance,” Craig said.

Craig, older in West Kentucky, currently polishing its bachelor of science in agriculture with concentrations in agronomy and gardening. She dreams of not just playing on LPGA, but also becomes an architect golf course.

At August citizens, Craigo’s two passions will converge.

“It will be out of dreams, and golf-wise and with my love of golf architecture,” Craig said, who qualified this year’s Anwu, set for 2. April after last spring, after that, after The spill disappeared about a dozen points. “I’m so excited to see all the history I read about, in real life and physically see the slopes, hills, all uneven lies, strategy, bunkering – I just want to want everything.”

When Craig discovered she earned her in a prestigious field, she was checking her an email in the hotel room in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She was warned of the package that arrived from Augusta National and immediately started jumping up and down.

The next morning broke the exciting news in the room packed golf advantages and supervisors who were in the city for the Tennesse Turfgrass Association’s Annual Conference, where he was invited to speak. She also did some networking and landed several offers for the job to design some areas of short games.

Craig already has experience. The internet is in the last summer in the Country Club of Indian Hills in Bowling Green, Kentucky, looking forward to 8 to 12 hours under the club director, Bob McLean. Craig helped excite a new practice green and learned how to use Sandpro, among other tasks.

Between shifts, Craig won amateur north and south at Pinehurst.

Craig dominated the medium-high level, winning four times, including a conference-American individual title as a sophomor. She also had a lawsuit of 10 faculty tournaments in which she did not end up since the fourth, railway, which at last spring NCAA East Lansing Regional, where they competed individually for another flat season.

Now on no. 87 In World Golf Ranking, Craig remains in West Kentucky, shoulder more suggestions for entering the transfer portal and instead of remaining faithful teammates, coaches and major.

“Even in tournaments, people would come up with and asked,” Why don’t you switch? “And that’s like, hello to you,” Craig said. “After I won the conference, such questions were just spilled out of everywhere, and I was a little offense. My goal is to pass and you can go with any level of college, it doesn’t matter. … I love my team so much. . My coach is so supported, and he helped me improve and why would I risk transferring to a place that may not offer all the love and support I’m receiving here? “

Craig could not imagine leaving the hill, which also decided to skip the LPGA Q-series after improvement through the second phase last fall. LPGA rules predict that the amateurs are lacquered by the professional, and the three best college players did just – Julia Lopez Ramirez, UCLA Zoe Campos and the ruling NCAA Čampion Adela Cernousek from Texas A & M; All three would be easily qualified for Anwa.

Craig postponed his status of Epson tour this summer, and she is determined to lead West Kentucky to the region for the first time as a team while graduating in preparation for the city school, where he plans to study landscape architecture.

“It was a pretty easy decision,” Craig said. “The tour will always be there, but the faculty is not. Same from Anwa. I just wanted to experience everything I can before I move on to the next level.”

Maybe Craig, Lefty, will terminate the trophy on the practice of Augusta National Green behind 10. tea type, where many passed the champions in his glory.

It is probably more likely than her rolling that week, but, hey, he can dream.
