Pamela Pretswell (Scotland)
I used to play tennis from 5 to 14 years old, when I changed to golf. As a junior, I played for Scotland and Great Britain and once took part in a demonstration with the Great Britain junior team on the Number One court at Wimbledon. But, I just got tired of playing tennis and wanted to try something different. And now, I enjoy playing golf, I love to play golf and play different courses…
I was part of the same squad as Andy Murray and trained together, when we were younger. We are both from Scotland and we lived more or less nearby, and he is 2 years older than me. He is very nice.
Now I am 22 and I graduated last year, last summer, in Business and Management at the University of Glasgow.
I went to LET Q-School in January, 2012 and I made it through to the Final Stage but I did not make the cut to play the final day.
My plans are to go back and I will turn professional next year and try to get my full card. But I will play all the LETAS events this season.
