And um they were playing at Randolph, which was where we practiced as a team, and I remember going out there after school just to watch them, you know, get ready for the tournament. And I watched them on the range. I'd I mean I saw those, you know, Hall of Famers, you know, Pat Bradley, you know, Patty Sheehan, Bessie King, Nazi Lopez, and Daniel, they were all hitting balls, and and I was just like, I was mesmerized. I just thought this is this is really what I want to do. You know, I'd been introduced to professional golf, you know, and not as you know, more from you know, from a farther way level, you know, not because I've been either the magazines and we really didn't have women's golf on TV in Sweden. So but to stand right there and literally feel you know the divots coming my way, I just and watching them, I just said, you know what, I would love to do this one day.

You know, I was you know just a freshman and and uh so I had a long ways to go, but just to kind of see and then and then during the weekend I would go out and watch them compete and it just looked like they had a lot of fun and and you know I knew the golf course, so to see them play a course that that I would play every day, it was you know, I was like, well, you know, maybe I can do this one day.
