Personal Profile Kimberley is an approachable individual with a determined approach to her career. She has a keen and enthusiast approach to many sports including badminton and tennis maintaining a competitive attitude. Although she enjoy taking part in other activities my main focus is golf. She has been competing at high standards of golf for a number of years and continuously striving for greater challenges. She began my career in golf by competing in, and winning the English Girls Flight 2 championship. From there she has represented her club and county on many occasions, eventually leading the junior sec-tion of Saltburn Golf Club and a team of Yorkshire junior girls in county events. This not only demonstrates an ability to work well as part of a team but also the ability to lead. Outside of golf Kimberley loves fashion, shopping, being pampered, the gym, socialising and spending time with her family, friends and boyfriend.
