Overview
Maya knows exactly what kind of golfer she is. Until everyone else starts telling her.
At twelve years old, Maya is one of the best junior golfers at Millbrook. She is accurate, consistent, and almost impossible to rattle. Then she earns a place on the county development squad - and suddenly every swing comes with a number.
Carry distance. Clubhead speed. Rankings.
And the boys seem to hit it farther.
Maya decides twenty extra yards will fix the problem.
Soon she is chasing speed, changing a swing that already worked, and paying far too much attention to every comment about how well she plays for a girl. The harder she tries to prove she belongs, the less her golf feels like her own.
But Maya isn't the first girl in her family to feel that pressure.
When she discovers a box of old trophies belonging to her mother, she learns that years earlier, her mum had been one of the best junior golfers in the county - until the pressure, expectations, and constant comparisons made her walk away from the game completely.
Now Maya has four county places to fight for, one final selection round, and a choice to make about what kind of golfer she actually wants to become.
Golf Girl: Her Own Game is a warm, funny and competitive story about confidence, pressure, comparison, and learning that being good at something doesn't mean doing it someone else's way.
Perfect for readers aged 8-12, junior golfers, sporty girls, reluctant readers, and anyone learning to trust their own game.
