Two weekends ago, I found myself back at The Athena, surrounded by the energy of elite women golfers, the thrill of competition, and the quiet, unscripted moments that make the game so special. Golf and photography, two of my greatest passions, came together once again, and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting to capture the essence of the tournament, and I brought my hubby in for the ride. He was my second shooter and photo editor for the weekend.

There were so many incredible moments throughout the weekend, too many to count. From the intense focus before a critical shot to the lighthearted camaraderie between players, every moment told a story.

But this isn’t just about golf.

This series is for anyone who appreciates grit, resilience, and passion, whether you’re a golfer, an athlete, a creative, or someone who simply loves witnessing people chase their dreams. It’s about the camaraderie that makes competition more than just winning. It’s about the mental game, the quiet moments of self reflection, and the way sport mirrors life itself. And most importantly, it’s about the beauty in the unscripted moments, the laughter, the fist pumps, the deep breaths before the winning putt.

I hope you find inspiration in these photos, whether you’re out on the green or simply appreciating the art of storytelling through sport.

Thank you team PGA Australia and WPGA Tour for having me!
