Hull opened up about her condition in the interview, “I know my triggers now because I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, quite severely. I can understand now why sometimes I get bored on the golf course. I feel a lot better now.”
According to Hull, it is related to how she thinks and her impatient nature, and to cure it she needs to keep her mind busy. Charley also revealed that playing at the ocean-hugging Pebble Beach last week was therapeutic for her. “I find it hard to concentrate, but I’ve found my triggers now, and looking at the views of the ocean last week was pretty good.”

Hull believes that her problems had made an impact on her game, but she is working on improving it.. “I’ve actually been playing well since I won last year but I missed a couple of cuts in my previous events.”
This season she couldn’t make the cut at The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Meijer Classic, and the Chevron Championship. Her good performances were at Mizuho Americas Open, she was T17 at the recent Women’s Championship.
“I just worked on my swing a bit and got my confidence back, and I feel like I’m swinging it well now,” Hull said about improving her form. Nevertheless, Hull’s fans can’t wait to see her teeing it up at the green with better health.
