Kinsley Smith

Growing up I played every sport imaginable. Soccer, volleyball, dance, gymnastics, etc. However, when I first swung a golf club when I was eight years old, I knew I had found my calling. Golf has shaped who I am today. It has taught me how to deal with adversity, how to bounce back after a tough hole. Golf is often compared to the game of life. There are good holes and bad holes, how you respond to them is the most important thing. This also translates to my professional life. Having hard days is part of every job, and golf has taught me how to deal with this.
