Abby Kelly is one of Arizona’s top junior golfers — and one of the fastest rising stars in the game. ⭐️ In this episode of Golf Mom Mindset, we sit down with Abby to talk about her incredible journey from picking up a club during the COVID lockdowns to becoming a 25-time tournament winner in 2025.

What started as a simple trip to the driving range with her dad quickly turned into a passion for competition, inspired by growing up with older sisters who played competitive softball. After moving from California to Arizona in late 2021, Abby committed fully to tournament golf — and the results speak for themselves.

🏆 Highlights from Abby’s career:

• 25 wins in 2025 • 14 wins in 2024

• 2025 Arizona 12U State Champion

• 6th place at the U.S. Kids World Championship (12-year-old division)

• JGAA Player of the Year (competing up in the 13–14 age group)

Known for her work ethic, resilience, and maturity beyond her years, Abby shares honest insights on junior golf, handling pressure, family support, and what it takes to compete at a high level at such a young age.

Whether you’re a junior golfer, a golf parent, or a fan of inspiring stories — this episode is a must-listen. 🎯
