She started out as a competitive tennis player, but then discovered golf. She went through several instructors, most who didn’t help much because they weren’t very encouraging or empathetic. But then she found a teacher who worked hard to understand her. That’s the kind of teacher she has become maximizing your skills and building your confidence. She also hosts her own podcast called “The Smart Golfer”. Dr. Greta has a PhD in Higher Education Research and works with the LPGA on developing their curriculum.
