Siri's Road to LPGA

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Siripatsorn (Siri) Patchana. Recently just graduated from Grand Canyon University, majoring in Sports Psychology and minoring in Communication. As a kid, my dream was to become a professional golfer on the LPGA Tour. During my college career, I was motivated more than ever to pursue that dream. As I am getting ready to embark on my new journey, the realization of the financial burdens is becoming more real than ever.

 

 

 

 

A little bit about me

I was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand. My dad introduced me to the game of golf when I was nine years old. I and my dad traveled to play tournaments in the United States, and that is when I knew I wanted to pursue golf as a career. I worked hard to get into a university in America and chose to attend Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. The last 5 years of my college career have made me want to be a professional golfer more and more every single day. I want to keep proving to myself that I can become the person I once dreamt about as a little girl. After graduating, I learned that nothing is handed to you; you will have to earn it and make the best of what you have. I worked so hard to get to where I am right now. I am currently working part-time with my coach but unfortunately, the cost of living and golf expenses are above my ability. 

 

 

 

 

Professional golf has always been my dream as a child. I'm putting my heart and soul into this game and I wanted to have a chance to do what I love. During the pandemic, my family was going through financial hardship and wasn’t able to help me jump-start my career, and I felt that it is not their responsibility to help me when they are going through hard times. So I decided to do it myself, with a limited time left before Q-school, I would appreciate any help.  

 

I have set out my financial plan to budget my golf for 2022. I will use the funds raised to play in tournaments, travel costs associated with tournaments, swing coach fees, physical trainer fees, and mental strength coach fees. A significant portion of the funds will be used for the LPGA Qualifying School, which costs upwards of $20,000 when all expenses are added. After Qualifying school, I will continue to play mini-tours, Monday Qualifier to an LPGA and Epson tour event.
