‘I Just Didn’t…’: After Starting Her Golf Career at Just Two, Charley Hull Once Exposed the Sacrifices She Made Along the Way

Being a professional golfer requires a lot of hard work and determination. Like many, LPGA star Charley Hull also endured a lot of challenges to earn her Tour card. She began playing the sport she now masters from the age of two. Though Hull now boasts a promising career in golf, she once revealed the sacrifices she took to achieve her dreams.

Charley Hull turned pro back in 2013 at 16 years of age. After spending a decade in the LPGA, the British golfer has won six events. Though fans on social media drool over her looks, Hull is already considered a top talent on the golf course. Nonetheless, Charley gave up on a lot of things to become a successful golfer from a young age.

Charley Hull wasn’t good at academics?

In order to be a good golfer, one has to have good golf skills and attributes, similar to that of Hull. However, knowledge regarding other subjects may be close to irrelevant once you earn your Tour card. During her appearance at the Bogeys Boys Golf Podcast two years ago, the LPGA star shared how she never learned any other subjects.

“I just didn’t I got to do Maths, English and Science”, said Hull. She added, “I’m not very good at spelling and I’m not very good at counting”. Nonetheless, to be a great golfer, you don’t have to be good at counting or spelling, and Charley Hull is aware of that.  “You don’t have to be to golf”, she said while referring to her lack of knowledge in other subjects.

However, the then-24-year-old did reveal that she had a soft spot for Science. She said, “I like science. I find it interesting”. But Hull also accepted of never completing GCSE as she left school at the age of 13 and instead began competing in amateur golf. While the decision may have been challenging for her at the time, the LPGA star has stuck with her desire to find glory in the professional circuit.

After sacrificing most of her school life in order to pursue a life in professional golf, Charley finally succeeded. With six wins in her resume, has the British golfer ever won a Major in her decade-long career?

Has Hull ever won a Major?

After turning pro in 2013, Charley Hull was on the verge to win her first professional event the same year at the Ladies European Tour’s German Open but lost to the Spaniard Carlota Ciganda in the playoffs. Nonetheless, a year later she managed to claim her maiden pro triumph at Lalla Meryen Cup in Morocco.

Hull’s first LPGA victory came at the 2016 CME Group Tour Championship after scoring a stunning 19 under par. Her last professional win came last year after claiming the Volunteers of America Classic. As far as Charley Hull’s Major silverware is concerned, the LPGA has yet to add a win to her promising career.

Apart from being tied to the third position at the Evian Championship last year, Hull’s closest Major finish came in 2016 when she finished in the runners-up spot to Lydia Ko. Nonetheless, still only 27 years of age, Charley has proven traits of a promising career. And in addition to the sacrifices she made from a young age, it is quite evident that the LPGA star will soon have a Major to her name.
