Beyond the Green Lauren's Journey of Talent and Determination
Golf Champion, Aspiring Architect, and Creative Wiz - this bright young talent is just getting started
At just 8 years old, Lauren Stone, who started her golf journey in April 2024 at age 7, is already making waves in youth golf. Lauren has quickly established herself as a formidable player, amassing an impressive total of 8 wins this Fall Season: (5) 1st Place Gold Medals, (1) Silver, (1) Bronze in the US Kids Golf Piedmont Triad Tournament, and (1) 1st Place Trophy at the TYGA Tots State Championship at Holly Ridge. To top it off, she claimed 1st Place Overall in the Girls 8 and Under category at the US Kids Fall Tour.
With her daddy as her caddy, they make quite the duo. He has even had to brush up on his skills to keep up with her. Since June 2024, Lauren has been a part of the US Kids Golf Program at Oak Hollow Golf Course as well as a member of their PGA Youth Golf League for the Fall. But it’s not just her achievements on the golf course that make her shine; it’s her humble and resilient attitude that truly sets her apart. Best of all, she is having fun!
When she’s not swinging clubs, Lauren’s creativity knows no bounds! She adores writing short stories, composing tunes on her keyboard, and designing imaginative games on her trusty whiteboard. Her zest for life is evident in everything she does, whether she’s painting vibrant artwork or belting out her favorite songs.
Lauren has a deep love for school and excels in reading and math and has her mind set on being an Architect. With a “never give up” attitude, she tackles challenges head-on, inspiring those around her to do the same (including mom and dad).
This winter, Lauren is excited to hit the slopes for skiing, another passion she has quickly embraced. With her determination and creativity, there’s no doubt that Lauren is on her way to achieving great things.
Keep an eye on this young achiever; with so much talent and spirit, we can’t wait to see what she’ll conquer next!
