What’s your golfing journey?
I started playing golf when I was 16 because my brother was going to JNJGF lessons. Soon I started hitting it past him, so he quit, ha ha. I started taking it pretty seriously, joined Castle Hill Country Club, then got a golf scholarship in the USA after high school in Australia. After College, I did my traineeship at Concord Golf Club in Sydney. I then did some teaching and played ALPG events. I stopped playing after I had kids and moved to Denmark, when my girls were 2 years old. I miss it and love when the weather is better, so we can go out an have a hit!
What’s your idea of a perfect four ball? Who would you invite on your team?

What do you enjoy the most about hosting tours?
I most enjoy meeting the wonderful people that come on the tours. Everyone has the same passion for golf and travel. And of course the fabulous golf courses we play and hotels/cities we visit.
What do you love the most about travelling?
I love experiencing new sights, accents, architecture, food and wine. Being able to experience a world other than our own day to day lives. You open yourself up to meeting new people and appreciating the beauty of the world and being grateful for how lucky we are to be able to experience it all.
What do you think are the most important attributes of a Tour Host?
I think the most important attributes are empathy, patience and a good sense of humour.
What do you do when you’re not hosting tours?
I am a true hockey mum! I drive my 3 kids to practice every day and then all over the country to watch them play on weekends. We send each other hockey tips on Instagram, and all our dinner conversations revolve around hockey. My side hustle is selling Bling Sun Visors for Women, on Amazon.
I just love hosting golf tours. There is nothing in the world I enjoy doing more (apart from watching my kids play hockey). I am a helper and a coach. I love helping people and making them happy and comfortable, and making sure they are having a good time. It gives me such joy to watch a ‘student’ execute my golf instructions, and when they get the Ah Ha! Moment, it is just SO good!
