Quick Quotes
Q. Tell us about what you do in the community?
HANNAH CRUMB: I'm a golf professional in the mid lands. My biggest passion is introducing golf to women, so I currently have about 150 women in weekly group coaching so they are coming along, learning and it's great. I absolutely love it.
Q. When did you start that?
HANNAH CRUMB: So I have been professional for about seven years, so I kind of at the start knew I wanted to grow the women's community but I would say in the last like two years, numbers have absolutely accelerated.
Q. COVID golf?
HANNAH CRUMB: COVID golf. For me it was so, so, so special to get them on board and yeah, I love it.
Q. What's the name of the group?
HANNAH CRUMB: So myself, threes three of us in business at ignite golf so the idea is we have about 190 juniors in group coaching and like I said, I kind of do the ladies. So we are slightly different. The story is we ignite golf, so we worked awhile on that name. We are just trying to light it up and doing something different and have fun and we do it. It's great, when you come down to the venue, does not look like a golf course. It looks fun, youthful and fantastic.
Q. What was it like today?
HANNAH CRUMB: Such an amazing day. Obviously the weather is just stung but the thing with the Aramco that just drew me in was the fun element, seeing the women in this environment having such a good time. I'm really, really, really grateful to allow the ladies to have the opportunity.
Q. Fun to see these amazing players up close?
HANNAH CRUMB: 100 per cent, for all of them. They have never watched golf, so having the experience to see the stuff that might come about, the divot, the ground, holding their finish, it's not just me going on. It's pretty special so they love it.
Q. And the Aramco Team Series has given you some equipment and donations?
HANNAH CRUMB: It's unbelievable. Maybe I am at a point where the next stage to grow is trying my hardest to build everything, so to be able to have that support, it just means I'm going to be able to do things quicker. It means I'm going to be to have to be bigger.
At the moment, I'm capped at the equipment that I have and I'm capped clubs that I use. For me the story is now let's just accelerate this and now we can really use it and put it back into the game that I love.
Q. Eventually we could have one of the girls playing in the Aramco Team Series?
HANNAH CRUMB: That would be fantastic. That would be my goal.
