"While recruiting Yeji, it was clear that she has taken a different path in her junior golf career, and I believe it will pay off for her! She has spent the last few years building and fine-tuning her technique with the help of a wonderful instructor, and is only recently beginning to compete on the Regional and National levels. Yeji, with her easy-going personality, dedication and internal motivation, makes a great addition to our new program. I am excited to begin coaching Yeji and see what lies ahead for her!" - Coach Emily Kuhfeld
