Everything started in Düsseldorf, Germany, where I was born on May 9th, 1985. Being an only child, my parents obviously spoiled me, in a good way though - at least from my perspective. I got to play golf for the first time when I was about 5 years old. For my 5th birthday my parents gave me a set of colored plastic clubs. All of our vacations were golf vacations and that was the only time of the year I usually played golf, in nice places such as the Netherlands, France or Portugal. My dad was my first coach and still is one of my best teachers of the game. But not until I was 14 did I actually start practicing seriously at a golf club close to our house.
In the mean time I had a bunch of other hobbies. I played tennis, I started ballet and violin, I got to do wakeboarding for a few years, I played theatre at school and of course I have always been painting. My mom still has some paintings from when I was about three years old, and since then you probably cannot even count them. It's a great way for me to relax and let out my creative side. Really taking golf more seriously, I realized that I can be creative in golf, too, in a different way. First I played for my golf club team, since there are no high school teams in Germany, and as I got better each year, with 17, I got to join the German National Team, which is a great honor in Germany. When I was 18, I won the German National Girls Championship and the junior ranking.
