You might remember Autumn Solesbee—the young girl whose adoption by Donnie and Jamie Solesbee caught the attention of the golf world. Back on October 11, 2019, Autumn was adopted into the Solesbee family, and at that time, she didn’t know a thing about golf. Fast forward to today, and she’s completely fallen in love with the game, and now the golf world is starting to take notice.

Zire Golf recently shared a video of Autumn’s impressive swing on their Instagram handle, and the response was huge. None other than Max Homa himself acknowledged the young golfer by linking the post, and he wasn’t the only one. Fans and LPGA pros alike jumped in, praising Autumn’s natural talent. It’s clear this little star is turning heads!

Donnie, a real estate agent from Lyman, South Carolina, loves sharing updates about his daughter’s golf journey. Recently, he posted on X, reflecting on how far they’ve come: “Four years ago, I posted Autumn’s swing to @MaxHoma. Looking back, it was cringe on my part, but I was so proud of being her dad. Zire Golf posts it every year, and I always know because my notifications blow up. I wish they didn’t, but oh well. Still proud of being her dad.”

Autumn’s got some serious talent—she’s already a junior golf standout, winning the Girls’ 7-9 age division at last year’s Drive, Chip, and Putt at Augusta National. And she’s got some big dreams. One day, she wants to play on the LPGA Tour, and maybe even become the first woman to compete at the Masters. No pressure, right?  

The golf world is definitely watching Autumn, and who knows just how far her talent will take her? However, one thing’s for sure—this young golfer is making waves and leaving a lasting impression, and her story is just getting started.

The young star’s authentic moves leave the golf community in awe

“That swing is so pure,” a fan wrote. It’s not every day that a young golfer’s swing catches the attention of the golf world, but Autumn Solesbee’s effortless style has definitely turned some heads. It’s hard not to notice how naturally she moves, and honestly, it’s kind of hard to believe how quickly she’s picked it up.

“Looks like they just adopted a winning lottery ticket. Hope this kid gets all the love and success she deserves,” another user wrote. Autumn is clearly a huge blessing to her parents, Donnie and Jamie. They couldn’t have children of their own, but through adoption, they found the perfect fit with Autumn. After going through months of classes and getting certified, they got a call about a 7-year-old girl named Autumn—and the timing couldn’t have been better. It’s as if it was all meant to be!

LPGA Tour pro Mel Reid also jumped in with a comment, saying, “That’s a joke how good that is [fire emoji].” When a professional like Mel Reid is in awe, you know this girl’s got something special. But it’s not just the swing—it’s the fact that Autumn, who’s still so new to the game, is already showing the kind of raw talent most golfers spend years working on.

PGA Tour pro Robb Heering Jr. summed it up perfectly with, “If only we all could swing like that! Good on you girl!!“

Another chimed in, writing, “Sometimes what feels natural is right.” That comment indeed hits home. Autumn’s swing looks like it was always meant to be. The crazy part is that the Solesbee family didn’t know much about golf at all when she first picked up a club. But once she did, it didn’t take long for her to catch the bug. Donnie didn’t even go out and buy her the latest high-tech gear—he started with a simple U.S. Kids Golf wedge. And just like that, Autumn found her passion. It’s the kind of smooth, effortless swing most golfers spend years trying to perfect, but she made it look easy right from the start.

Clearly, she’s onto something big—and it’s her raw talent that’s got everyone taking notice.
