Lauren Morris

Started playing golf at four years old. Her father bought her first set of clubs, and she began swinging in the backyard. Then he took her to the golf course, where he would drop a ball 150 yards out from the pin and told her to keep hitting until she got to the green.
At her first U.S. kids tournament, her dad was helping her during warm-ups to prevent her from taking the club inside on her swing. While this worked on her backswing, it didn't do so well for her follow-through as she struck him with the club, which left a large cut on his forehead.
