A Little Golf Journey
My passion for golf started on New Years Eve Dec. 31, 2022, at Southern Highlands Golf Club, Las Vegas. I quickly realised I’d found my sport, somewhat late in life, but none the less I found it. Today golf is an everyday affair — a passion that weaves itself into many parts of my life. For me, golf isn’t just a game — it’s a personal journey. I found my zen on the greens.
Why golf?
Most important: It’s fun, challenging, and I love that it requires both physical and mental strength.
I play for joy, freedom, nature, respite, the mental challenge, and creative thinking.
Current focus: keepin’ up my daily workflow to continuously lower my handicap.

Some facts:
• Golfing zealot with a monocular vision —blind on right eye.
• #EpilepsyStrong
• I live in Fredrikstad, Norway, next to a beautiful golf course. I love to visit other courses to though, and I love to travel.
• My educational background is a bachelor's degree in set design. I’ve worked both on stage (as part of theatre- and musical ensembles), and «behind» designing and making sets.
• I do strength training and cardio 5 times a week, and I’m at the course almost every day after gym.
• Nerdy mom, and «latecomer» into golf.
—I hope my journey can inspire more «latecomers» into golf. Join the wave!
Never underestimate a «granny» at the course.

BirdieJuice
One of my favorite daily rituals is to make myself a veggie/berry loaded breakfast smoothie. A quick, easy meal that gives the shot of energy I need to power through my workout or round of golf. Simply telling myself that «A BirdieJuice a day, keeps the bogeys away». Of course there’s no magic here, but for me it‘s the best body fuel, motivation and mental-up’s for both the game and wellbeing.
