In a previous blog post, we introduced you to 23-year-old Lauren Hunt, a professional golfer sponsored by The Pearl. In Part Two of our Lauren Hunt series, we’d like to expand on her past experiences playing the game she chose to make her career.

On what she loves most about golf, Lauren said she loves the competition. “I get a thrill out of standing over a putt or shot and knowing it means something. I like to play against the best and compete on the highest level.” Even though she began competing in tournaments at the age of 8, the game she’s most proud of was at the Decatur Championship on the Futures Tour, where she was under par for all four rounds.

Choosing to be a professional golfer has allowed Lauren to play throughout the United States and even take her first trip out of the country. Playing at an oceanfront resort in Mexico, she enjoyed playing every morning at a truly unique location, which included caged tigers along the course! With mornings spent playing golf and afternoons on pristine Mexican beaches, Lauren is enjoying the opportunities professional golf has brought her.
