It’s all about golf for sophomore Cortney Kieser.
Born in Fairfield, CA Cortney moved to Winnemucca at the age of nine. The move from California also introduced Courtney to golf and marked the beginning of her golf career. Her dad is the Golf Pro at the Winnemucca Municipal Golf Course and is a main source of inspiration for her to play golf.
“My dad is the Golf Pro and he got me interested in it [golf],” said Kieser, speaking of what influenced her to play golf.
Kieser’s favorite golfer is Tiger Woods and she is not affected by his recent scandal.
She clearly stated, “I don’t read in to that stuff; he’s a good golfer.”
Kieser speaks of her family as very supportive individuals, and they are described as “pretty chill”.
“They support me any way they can, and cheer me on,” said Kieser.
She presently golf’s for Lowry High school’s golf team, and plans to golf in college.
She enjoys the experience of golfing with the other girls and meeting new people at away matches. She also loves the feeling of making a good shot.
Recently, she set a personal best score of 87 on her home course.
“I just like hitting the ball, it just feels good when you make a good shot…,” said Kieser.
