Instant Inspiration: Mariah Stackhouse

Sixteen-year-old Mariah is here to show ya that golf is more than puttin’ around. She’s racked up amateur accolades and will take part in the Mojo 6, an LPGA event. This summer, consider ditching mini golf for tougher greens.

Forget about the cart.
“A lot of people think golf is not the most athletic sport. If you want to play seriously, you have to get in shape. Golf is not just a mental game, it’s physical. It takes a lot to play in a tournament.”

She’s gained more than trophies.
“The sport has made me more independent and strong-minded. You have to be sure of your abilities and hold yourself together under pressure.”

Effort off the links is key.
“I work out so hard with my trainer. I have to start doing more cardio—I’m running today.”
