I'm a beginning golfer and new, full-time resident of Sarasota, FL. Although I'm from the mid-west, I consider myself a southern girl at heart. (Both parents are southern.) I can be opinionated and out-spoken at times. But I'm also kind and fiercely loyal.

My ideal match will, of course, have an interest in golf and will overlook my beginner status. He'll no doubt be supremely confident and successful in life. I love a quick-wit and and good sense of humor is essential. Although I consider my politics to be somewhere in the middle, if you are very liberal we probably wouldn't be a match.
