Do you ever wonder what’s inside the head of a current Symetra Tour Player or former Division 1 golfer?
Good news for you, now you don’t have to!
This weeks alumni spotlight, Sierra Sims comes to us from Austin, Texas! She was a stud on the TJGT… and did we mention her sister Mariana played on the TJGT as well? She currently plays on the Symetra Tour. For her rookie year, she competed in 20 Symetra Tour events and is currently Top 100 on the 2018 money list.
Sierra was a top recruit in the state of Texas, she was Ranked 8th in the Polo Junior Rankings. She won the 2011 and 2012 Texas 5A Individual State Championship, and finished runner-up in 2013. Pretty awesome if you ask us.

Chipping
What advice would you give to junior golfers?
I would say play as much as you can to get tournament experience. The more experience you have, the less pressure you feel when playing in big tournaments.
