Lee women's golf coach John Maupin is bringing in Anne Hedegaard from Aalborg, Denmark to play for his Lee University team next fall.
"We found out about Anne a little bit later in the recruiting process, but it was very evident from the beginning that she would be an asset to our program," commented Maupin. "We have gotten great reviews on Anne's game from people that have a great eye for talent, but Anne's scores also spoke for themselves. She has great experience in team golf, and that is something that we really place a lot of value on.
"Additionally, Anne has worked very hard to get to this point, both in the classroom and on the course," the Lee coach added.
"I feel like when you combine her work ethic with her physical potential it is clear that she has a lot of great golf ahead of her.
"Another thing that really stuck out about Anne was her desire to be at Lee University. Once we started recruiting her she took a strong interest in our school and program. It's important to us too add people that understand what a special place Lee is. We can't wait for Anne to join us next fall."
Hedegaard took time to answer the following questions:
What other schools were you considering?
"I was also considering Harding University and Lander University."
What stood out to you the most about Lee, or what led you to choose our university?
"The coach and the girls on the golf team had a big influence on me. The coach is very nice and after I talked to him the first time I knew it was the right place for me. Everybody has been very helpful and kind during the process. The girls have been very friendly from the beginning and the fact that everybody is so nice really makes me want to go to Lee University even more. I can't wait"
What are you most looking forward to about your upcoming time at Lee?
"I look forward to become a part of the golf team and to play on behave of Lee University. I also look forward to live on campus and to meet a lot of new people."
