Q & A Charlise

If a song was played at the first tee, what song would be played for you?

I would choose Blank Space by Taylor Swift, I like that song.

 

What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?

The weirdest thing I've ever eaten is wasabi at Mikuni's. My cousin made me try it. It is spicy!

 

How did you start playing the game of golf?

My dad signed me up and wanted me to try it.

 

If you could only bring 3 clubs on the golf course what would they be?

I would bring a Driver, Iron and Putter. These are my favorite clubs...especially the driver because I can hit the ball far!

Q & A Gabrielle 

If you had 3 wishes, what would they be?

To be a pilot, to grow up and be an adult and to have kids. 

 

What is your favorite school subject?

Art is my favorite subject in school because I like to draw Christmas trees and ginger bread men and houses. 

 

What is something that the average person wouldn't know about you?

That I like to eat food. 

 

If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you take with you?

I would bring water, lots of food and a cabin.
