Why I Play series: Golfer Jen Goh.

“Why I Play” is a fortnightly series showcasing the stories of people who enjoy playing sports. Want to see your sport featured? Let us know via Facebook or Twitter.

After a period of rehabilitation, Jen is now back on the golf course and continuing her journey to become the first Singaporean golfer to play on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour.A: My dad worked at Pebble Beach when he was a student in the US, so even though he didn’t play golf at that time, he was very into the game and we had memorabilia from US Opens lying around the house.

What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about golf? How do you debunk some of these misconceptions to people? Share an inspiring story you have of a tournament or an experience with teammates that made you love golf even more. I then moved into the top 30 after four rounds, ahead of many players whom I believed were much better than I was. That was massive for me, to know that I do have the goods to play among these girls. Also, it made me realise why I love golf so much – the ball is round and anything can happen as long as you don’t give up.There were many occasions I felt that I’ve had enough of golf but many of those situations were during times when I played badly or failed in one way or another.

Then, I saw a doctor in San Francisco, where I was living, and she wanted to insert a spinal cord stimulator into my spine. A machine that I will have to charge every night, just so I could return to some normalcy in my life.
