Queen Igbineweka – Girls Golf Rising Star

Our latest featured Girls Golf player is Queen Igbineweka from Southern California. Queen is a prolific junior golf tournament winner and a big hometown Rickie Fowler fan.

Our latest featured player is Queen Igbineweka from Southern California. In just three years of playing tournament golf, Queen has played in 65 events, winning 31 and placing in the top three 51 times. Queen moved up mid-2015 to the 11 and 12-year-old age group and has continued her stellar play in the new division, placing first or second enough times to earn enough points to win her second Female Player of The Year Award in December 2015. Away from golf, Queen is a keen dancer.

Hi Queen, It’s great to have you as our latest Girls Golf featured player. How did you get started in golf?
I started when I was 8 years old. My mom and dad were wondering what could I do for an activity that didn’t involve running.

Where do you play?
I practice usually at Murrieta Driving range in Murrieta CA. and at The Legends Golf Course in Temecula CA. I’m lucky enough to play at golf courses all over Southern California and I will be receiving a golf simulator at my home soon, all I have to do is write a few optishot golf simulator reviews.

Great area for golf. What do you love most about the game?
I like meeting new friends who play golf and I love watching and learning how to hit a golf ball.

Are you having lessons?
Yes, I have had two instructors: PGA Professional Mary Richie who is now the head woman golf coach at the University of California Riverside, and PGA Professional Jenny Holt out of Temecula. I’ve also had some pointers from PGA Professional, Terry Davis from Hawaii who is one of my dad’s personal friends.

Tell us about your best golf experience ever?
When I won my first trophy it was for third place in a putt off. After that, I started winning and winning.

What part of the game do you love the most?
I like using my driver because I like to to see how far I can hit a ball. Actually, I enjoy every part of golf. These are the clubs that I am currently using:

Driver Taylormade Superfast 2.0
5 Wood Taylormade Superfast 2.0
4 hybrid callaway RAZR X
5 hybrid callaway RAZR X
6 thru AW callaway RAZR X
SW callaway RAZR X Black
LW callaway RAZR X Black
Putter Topflight
Ball Bridgestone Lady precept yellow

Love the yellow ball! Have you got a favorite player?
My favorite is Rickie Fowler because he is a great player who is very colorful and, of course, I’m a fan – Rickie grew up here in Murrieta CA.

Thank you, Queen. It’s been great to catch up with you. Good luck with your continued success and enjoyment of the game, we look forward to tracking your progress over the coming years.

A Great New Lesson Posted Every Day!

Hi Jane, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy and have learned from this site. I always talk about how informative this site is with the girls in my golf group.

In the last 30 days there have been 264 posts and 1243 comments.

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE the little lesson/tip snippets (side hill lie, and out-to-in slice fix were both awesome). They are so so helpful!

30 New Lessons Available for Members in the last Month

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
