Alice works for the Golf Foundation as development officer for the West Midlands, helping to introduce children from all backgrounds to golf. Through this role she has been able to support clubs and schools to provide children with a great first experience of the game.
She was introduced to golf by her grandma at the age of nine. As one of very few girls at her club, Alice developed a real understanding of the difficulties experienced by girls getting into the game which has made her even more passionate about making positive changes within the sport.
Alice enjoys a number of sports, but golf has provided her with volunteering opportunities which she loves just as much as playing. She is now a Derbyshire County volunteer looking after the girls’ development pathway and 9-hole events for beginner juniors.
With a degree in Human Geography from Durham University, later in 2022 Alice will be taking part in the Women’s Sport Leadership Academy at the University of Chichester.
