Nelly Korda on Monday, posted two photographs on Instagram. Both of them being of her one true love — golf! In one picture, she can be seen putting. While in the other, she’s picking out a driver from her golf set while her caddy holds the umbrella over her head to protect her from rain.

In the first picture, she can be seen wearing a blue-colored dress along with white Nike shoes and a white visor. She’s on the putting green on a bright sunny day and she is holding her follow-through after making a putt.

The second picture is a striking contrast to the first one. She captioned her pictures: “It’s a never-ending learning experience when it comes to golf. Lucky to be able to do what I love and continue to grow from it 🙌🏻  Next up: @thesolheimcup in 🇪🇸 and then 🇰🇷&🇲🇾.”
