Golf has given Makenna O’Bryan amazing opportunities and, she can thank one of her grandparents for that. “I’ve been playing golf since 7th grade. My grandpa introduced me to golf and, at first, I just did it to make him happy and give us something to do together, but it turned into something that I really enjoy.” In May, Makenna graduated from Northeast Dubois High School, but she played four years of high school golf at Linton Stockton High and had a memorable high school golf experience. Makenna O’Bryan Enjoys A Golfing Lifestyle By Mike May “I played all four years with amazing teammates and competitors.” She will continue her golf career at Kentucky Wesleyan College and is excited about making major life decisions, while at college “I’m not sure of my major, but I know I’m thinking about STEM. I love the science and math side of things. I’m hoping my first year at KWC will help me figure things out for sure.” In recent years, when she’s not in school, doing homework or playing high school golf, she works at The Donald Ross Course at the French Lick Resort in the golf cart staging area. She sees the golfers at the beginning and end of their rounds and enjoys meeting so many different people there. “I’ve worked at The Donald Ross Course the past two summers. I love it so much and plan to go back and work there next summer, as well!” One of the benefits of working at The Ross Course is that O’Bryan gets to play lots of golf at no charge, as long as she replaces her divots and repairs ball marks on the greens.
