From Tumbles to Tee-offs

Falling from the high bar may have damaged her knee, but it certainly sets up her golfing career. Paige’s gymnastics career took an unexpected turn, allowing her to discover her passion for golf. The remoteness of the fairways became her new arena, and being homeschooled gave her the freedom to create a timetable centered around the greens. Paige was soon not just playing; she was prospering, dividing her time between Monument, Colorado, and bright Scottsdale, Arizona, to develop her skills. By the age of 17, she was swinging like the best of them, and she turned pro at the junior level in 2010. Talk about a perfect professional move!

Paige’s Junior Jive

Paige was never one to “putter around” during her secondary school years. On the contrary, she was on fire, winning five of the seven tournaments she played on the Colorado junior golf circuit. In 2010, she won the CWGA Junior Stroke Play, ranking among the top 20 female golfing youngsters in the world. Paige is more than just a one-club wonder; she was named West Region Player of the Year twice. Her outstanding performance established her as a top-five candidate for college admission, earning her first-team All-American accolades and a spot on the Future Collegians World Tour. It was only the start of an amazing career.
