When I graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor in Civil Engineering, I had a choice: Golf or Engineering, I chose golf.

In 2020, I was selected to be a member of the National Development Squad. With constant guidance, I was able to improve exponentially. My improvement earned me a promotion into the National Squad and I eventually grew to become one of the top female amateur golfers in Singapore. My first mini-breakthrough was when I won the Silver medal during my debut at the 2022 Southeast Asian Games. It was since then that I believed I could make my professional golfing dream a reality. Since graduating at the end of 2022, I had been a full-time amateur golfer, focusing on gaining more competitive experience internationally and the goal of joining the professional golfing scene at the end of 2023 and possibly earning a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Like most sporting journeys, it’s never smooth-sailing and there’s always going to be setbacks where you either have to grind it out and adapt or simply give up. That summed up my entire 2023 season. The transition from a part-time athlete to a full-time athlete inevitably changed my perception of trainings and expectations, which brought me down a a very slippery slope. At the end of 2023, I was burnt out, physically but mostly mentally. I performed below expectations for nearly every event I participated in, and even lost my golf scholarship which provided me the funds to pay for my travel, training, competitions and coaching. It was then that I realised I had to accept the fact that I might not be able to meet my goal of joining the professional scene, simply because I was not ready for it. Though at that time I felt like a “failure”, I never gave up and decided I had to change something and to seek help and build my team, focusing on targeting the areas that I was weak at.

During the first half of 2024, I had early hints of my golfing potential, earning a top10 finish against a strong field of the top Asia Pacific Amateur female golfers at the Queen Sirikit Cup. I even earned my first ever international win at the Kuala Lumpur Amateur Open, leading the field by a margin of 7 strokes. With several other milestones I’ve achieved in 2024, I am confident I’ll eventually reach my goals.

In case you’re still wondering what I’m asking you to support me for:
MY DREAM – To win a major and be ranked Top 50 in the world
4 Year Goal – To qualify and medal at the 2028 LA Olympics
2 Year Goal – To qualify and medal at the 2026 Asian Games, To qualify for the LPGA Tour or Ladies European Tour(LET) and be ranked Top 300 in the world
1 Year Goal – To qualify for a professional tour (LET/TaiwanLPGA/WPGA Tour Australasia/ChinaLPGA/ThaiLPGA) and be ranked Top 500 in the world

This is a very simplified version of what my goals are in the coming years. To achieve these goals, heaps of travelling, coaching, training and competition are required. With my current sponsors, I have the privilege to be able to train regularly at a golf course in Singapore where I am currently based, get fitted with proper equipment regularly and have my outfits provided for every tournament. With your help, it would ease my finances which would allow me to pour most of my energy into improving my craft and striving towards my goal.
