ASU is a traditional golf school and very well known. The fact that so many successful golfers have come from ASU is a testament to their team and to the programme they have in place. They even have their own golf course! This will make it much easier for me to practice, improve, and pursue my dream. As everyone knows, practice facilities, especially ones with real grass are hard to come by in Hong Kong.
I’ve been dreaming about going to the US to play college golf since I was 14, which was the first year the HKGA junior squad went on their summer tour. That year I came in fourth at the Junior World Championship, and I really started to think that I could do it. But I never actually thought that my dream would come true.
A few days before this year's Junior World, I was talking to Brad and I asked him why ASU wanted me on their team. Brad laughed and said, "why not?" It just seems so unreal to me, but I am really looking forward to representing Hong Kong in Arizona.
ASU's offer has really increased my confidence. I do not believe in success without hard work; the harder you work, the more successful you will be. I will make sure to work my absolute hardest so that I will not let down my family, Brad and all the HKGA staff, as well as my teammates who have supported me over the years.
This is a really big step towards my ultimate goal of playing on the LPGA Tour. At ASU I hope to win an NCAA team championship and to really improve my game. I will be practicing every day with the team, in addition to working out three times per week. It will be a very busy schedule, but I know that it is necessary if we are going to be successful.
