Danielle's Swing

Danielle's Bio

Notables: Danielle picked up her first golf club at 16 when she decided to hit balls on the range while she waited for her mother's golf lesson to finish. All it took was a positive comment about her swing from a bystander and she was hooked. Despite no golfing experience in high school or in the junior golf ranks, she managed to earn a full scholarship to Long Beach State University, where teammates nicknamed her "Danny Daly" because of her penchant for the long ball like PGA Tour standout John Daly. A current member of the FUTURES Golf Tour, Danielle has competed in the Australian Open and made it to the finals of LPGA Tour Qualifying School in 2003. Earning playing credentials on the LPGA Tour is Danielle's ultimate goal, and she is not quitting golf until she gets there. "My heart and talent have finally come together, and I will change my entire lifestyle if I have to," she says. When not competing, Danielle enjoys playing in charity events and water sports. She is not sure what to expect from her Big Break III experience, but is excited about the uncertainty of it all. "You can't compare it to anything, but despite all of us wanting to win, we're all pulling for each other."
