Home game for Polly Mack (23)! The Berliner from Frohnau is living her big dream at the “Amundi German Masters” at Seediner See. Because she has only been a professional golfer for two weeks.
Mack: “I come straight from the USA, have just completed my studies there (Business Management and Marketing ed.) and hope that I can gain a foothold.”
At the University of Alabama, Mack and her golf sport were supported with a “full scholarship” (scholarship), including pocket money.
Mack: “I was usually able to save a little at the end of the month. But in order to be able to live as a golf pro now, you have to be among the world’s best among women and have good sponsors. I want to see how far I can make it now.”
Despite this, Mack has a plan B: “With my studies, I can work in any golf resort. I also find the field of hotel management very exciting.”
