LPGA pro Alison Lee undertakes a larger-than-life purpose

Back in 2022, the LPGA ‘Drive On’ series was organized for golfers to talk about golf, their lives, and everything amidst the games. Then the people’s favorite, Alison Lee, took center stage as she spoke about her own ideologies about mental health.

She said, “People don’t see that side of golf. They don’t see the anxiety, the mental anguish on both the women’s and men’s tours. The pressures that are set on us by ourselves and society,” reflecting on the peer pressure a golfer bears.  

Adding to that, she said, “We are all just one shot away from believing we are the number one player in the world or one shot from wanting to throw it all away”. Lee’s message won the hearts of several golf fans. Along with the previous statements, she also talked about her relationship with golf.

“I am still here. Battling through these struggles every day, because I have to stay strong. Because I love this crazy game of golf with everything it gives and everything it takes. No path is ever easy, and no two paths are ever the same. That is what it takes to show up every week and unlock your full potential.”

Lastly, her concluding lines came as a respite from loneliness. “You have to find the light in your darkest moments. I’m getting there- one step, one swing, one round, one day at a time. And I am not alone. Who’s with me?”
