Her journey is an inspiring one to every amateur and aspiring golfer, from falling in love with the game, to that determination to keep on improving.

All the time

One element of her journey that Mia is most proud of is helping to bring more young women into the game of golf.

She realised the power of community and connected networks in inspiring other young women to play, and by sharing her story, her experiences and creating platforms for people to be heard, she’s given countless women the confidence to gain greater access and enjoy golf.

As our first key golf ambassador for both The Open and the AIG Women’s Open, Mia's inspiration is truly everywhere. It’s a sport that she cares passionately about and for her, that means taking it to as wide an audience as possible. She wants everyone to play, have fun, and discover that golf is a game for life.

Little Birdie

The Little Birdie serve subtly mirrors the best – and some of the challenges – of the game of golf. It’s like playing 18 holes in a glass. Some sweet shots, one or two that get the juices flowing and a dash of raw emotion, but always with a great finish. Just perfect.
