The Golf Blog interview with 2-time gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, Part 2
The Golf Blog: What is your handicap in golf?
Misty: I don’t know my handicap, I’ve only broken 100 once. I shoot around a 105.
The Golf Blog: What’s the best and worst part of your game? The sand?
Misty: [laughter] I’d say the best part of my game is I can drive the ball well. I think the worst part of my game is chipping.
The Golf Blog: Do you have a home course?
Misty: I like to practice at Heartwell but if we go to a long course we go to Big Rex Long Beach or El Dorado.
The Golf Blog: How often do you get to play golf while you’re in training for the Olympics?
Misty: Once season starts, not very often, but off season, 2-3 times a wk
The Golf Blog: Who is your favorite PGA golfer and your favorite LPGA golfer?
Misty: Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa
The Golf Blog: If you didn’t play volleyball, what other job do you think you would like to do the most?
Misty: It’d be fun to golf or auto race, but if it had to be outside the realm of professional sports I’d say coaching.
The Golf Blog: What one indulgence (that you have given up during training) do you look forward to enjoying after the Olympics are over?]
Misty: Being able to golf more and just spending downtime hanging out with friends.
The Golf Blog: Thanks, Misty, and congratulations on winning the gold!
