Viewers have seen many powerful women who have worked hard and achieved great things despite bearing the responsibility of motherhood. Paula Creamer is one of those women. She is a professional golfer on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour who has won 12 tournaments. The U.S. Women’s Open champion had her first baby in January 2022, but she never gave up on golf. Her pregnancy never stopped her from reaching new heights in golf.

‘Golf Digest’ recently talked to her, where she explained the maternal journey she embarked upon without giving up golf. Creamer explained how her game of golf changed during her pregnancy, and she shared tips to handle symptoms on the course. She adjusted her game to fit the changes in her body and shared the wisdom with all the women out there. 

Paula Creamer: Learn from the best

Being tired during pregnancy is common, but ignoring the fact is hazardous. Talking about her game, Creamer said that she had to be on course 10 hours a day and walking was a huge part of it. But it’s never wrong to listen to your body and take up a cart on the course.

She further talked about changes in the body that lead to changes in mood. The posture changes as the body changes, which will completely define the golf shots. Before being pregnant, Creamer could feel her abs getting engaged while she played her shots. But being pregnant means you do not have as much control of those abs muscles, and you might end up losing a lot of distance.

Because an essential part of being pregnant was setting the limits, Creamer wasn’t good at it until she got pregnant. She said, “This has been an eye-opening experience because it’s not just about me anymore.”
