The Pearl Teams with Professional Female Golfer

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

The Pearl Golf's Sponsored GolferThis month we’ve been highlighting The Pearl’s sponsored golfer, Lauren Hunt of South Carolina, and her road to the LPGA. Teaming together has been advantageous for both The Pearl and Lauren, who has been playing at The Pearl since she was 13. The hospitable and comforting atmosphere is her favorite aspect of Ocean Isle Beach’s premiere golf course, but she especially enjoys the “layout and challenges the course gives. The finishing holes on both courses are scenic and great touches to end a round of golf.”

Sign up for our The Pearl’s RSS Feed and to watch Lauren’s career unfold! We look forward to watching her reach her long-term goals, including working closely with charities and being a mentor to children by becoming a golf coach. Lauren aims to help motivate young people whether it be though golf or simply helping them gain confidence or motivation in life.

Lauren Hunt: Her Love of the Game

Monday, October 18th, 2010

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.

The Pearl Golf Course's Professional GolferOn 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.
