MEET A MEMBER

Meet Sharon Deans! Sharon is one of our wonderful volunteers who host a weekday league! Sharon started and currently hosts our Wednesday night league at Carolina Lakes. Sharon was one of our founding members of the Indoor Simulator League last year in Huntersville and will be helping our Pineville league get its start this year! Once again, we posed some questions to Sharon to get to know her better:

• How long have you been playing? I have been playing for 2 years, and I love the game.
• What got you interested in golf? I had golf on my bucket list as a hobby to explore once I relocated to the area.
• What type of golfer (competitive, leisure, other) would you say you are? I am a closet competitive recreational golfer!
• Favorite Course in Charlotte Metro? That's a touch one - its a toss between Rocky River and Carolina Lakes. Skybrook is tough but beautiful. It beat me once in my first year of play. I plan to go back to beat it!
• Favorite Course in the World? Not sure yet - to be determined.
• What is your lowest score? 102 so far
• Do you have a favorite golf memory? I recently played at a Pro-Am at Wigwam in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a great experience.
• What is your favorite thing about being a female golfer? It has been my observation, so far, that as women, we tend to play a thoughtful, calculated game. I love to calmly play my game while beating my own last game played and any condescending man around!
• How long have you lived in the Charlotte Metro? 2 years.
• Favorite snack to bring or eat on the course while playing? Peanut butter cheese crackers and Welch's Fruit Snacks.
• What is your favorite thing about being an LPGA Charlotte member? Meeting and playing golf with some great ladies. The opportunity to play at courses all over the metro area and then some!
• Favorite golf brand? PING
• Favorite/least favorite club? My favorite club is my driver. Currently, my hybrids are my least favorite, but I plan to conquer that!
• What is the most obscure or unique thing in or on your golf bag? I just purchased a 3-iron (PING iCrossover). Ask me why, but I like the way it hits so far!
• What would be a big golf dream (location, score, playing partner) of yours? In the immediate time frame, I plan to play at Pinehurst for my 65th birthday this year! I would love to form a foursome that would travel together playing golf as a team. I have one great buddy to start!
