Julia Potter-Bobb has been honored with the IWGA Alice O’Neal Dye Player of the Year award on 10 separate occasions.
“This year was definitely the most challenging year when it came to my golf, just adding this variable of being a new mom and my responsibilities growing both professionally and personally,” said Potter-Bobb. “I had an incredible support system including my husband, son, parents and in-laws, and I am just really hoping to continue that going forward. Golf in the state of Indiana is really important to me and I feel like one of the best ways to show support for that is to continue to play in the great events that Indiana Golf offers. I never considered I would be someone who could say that they have won something 10 times, let alone Player of the Year. What helps me the most is when I feel the lowest about my game, or the challenges I have in my game going forward, it’s helpful to mentally call back on things like this and know that I never thought I would get to ten, but I got there, what else can I do that I never thought I could do?”
