I hated golf as a kid.

No, seriously, I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the game. As the younger sibling of a competitive golfer, I spent numerous summers dragged along from one tournament to the next which was my childhood nightmare. My, my how things have changed…

My name is Cecily Overbey, and I am now a professional golfer pursuing a career on the LPGA Tour! After walking through junior, amateur, and college golf, I decided to embrace the ultimate challenge of professional golf. As the great Bobby Jones once said, “Golf is the closest game to this game we call life.” Like anyone in their 20’s, I’m learning life lessons through the best metaphor for life I’ve ever know…golf. I’m learning how the world works and my place in it, all while living an unstable and unpredictable life on the road chasing a dream!

Spoiler Alert: professional golfers don’t all take private jets from one stop to the next or play the top rated courses every week. In fact, most live out of their cars, couch surf, and pray our next golf course didn’t punch their greens the week before our tournament…and we love it!! The road to the LPGA, like any mountain worth climbing, is a challenging and eventful journey that few understand and even fewer are willing to pursue. That’s where I come in! Whether you’re an avid golf or sports fan, competitive golfer yourself, or just love knowing what goes down behind the scenes, the LOFTY LIFE PODCAST is for you!

We’ll talk about everything that goes into life as a professional golfer, both on and off the course, and all the life lessons learned along the way!

Join me as I pursue a Lofty Life inside the ropes…This is where the fun begins!
