Please tell us more about where / how your love of sport, and in particular golf, developed.

It really started through my uncle, who luckily for us was living in one of the properties across from the Gleneagles estate in Scotland. He is a keen golfer and so this was a dream destination for a young girl starting to take up golf. Over the years, we spent lots of family holidays up there and I got the golf bug! I also fell in love with Scotland. As a teenager, I was already playing high-level national tennis for Yorkshire County. Golf requires good coordination, so it was easy for me to add golf to my sporting interests alongside tennis. It is also very addictive, so I would go to Scotland as often as I could and play. Later on, I got a summer job at Gleneagles and got more and more into the game. When I was 15, I was injured playing tennis and gradually came to realise that golf could replace tennis in my life, which eventually I could no longer play at a competitive level.
