Our family had the privilege of meeting Patty when Lauryn was a member of the Washington GJAC team in 2018. Patty genuinely cares about her athletes and works hard to understand their strengths to help them grow as golfers and young adults. Having Patty as a mentor allowed me to just be “mom” in Lauryn’s life. Patty still maintains a close relationship with Lauryn and continues to be one of her trusted confidant, helping her adjust to the rigorous demands of being a collegiate athlete at Northwestern.
