Birdie Youth

Born in the golfer’s paradise of Carmel, CA, raised in Seaside and now residing in Los Angeles, Robin, affectionately known as "Birdie," discovered her love for golf at just 8 years old. As the fifth of seven children, she often found a rare sense of solitude—either practicing her putting with golf balls or sitting on the beach, weaving flower necklaces. Her mother, Nita, never learned of Robin's fascination with golf. Instead, she encouraged her into other activities like sewing, fashion, Pop Warner football cheerleading, and charm school.

But Robin’s passion for the game couldn’t be ignored. It burned quietly within her, so much so that she took matters into her own hands. In the privacy of their backyard, she created a makeshift 4-hole golf course where she spent countless hours practicing her putting with nothing but a stick and a tennis ball.

Reflecting on those early days, Robin proudly calls herself the "Best Backyard 4-Hole Stick and Tennis Ball Golfer of Monterey County." Though her family never fully understood her secret love for the game, that spark has now turned into a lifelong passion.

After the loss of her spouse of 30 years, Robin experienced a series of seemingly divine events that led her back to the game of golf and eventually inspired her to start an amateur golf club. Passionate about the sport and its potential, Robin now focuses on engaging with youth, encouraging them to take a swing and explore the many career opportunities golf offers—whether as a player or in other roles within the industry. She motivates them to strive for success in every area of their lives, to live healthily, and to pursue their passions. Robin also urges them to connect with influencers who might help shape their development and open doors for their future.

Robin extends this same invitation to adults, both men and women, who share a similar mindset. She welcomes them to join Birdies Golf Crew, where the goal is to have fun while learning and growing as golfers. It's all about enjoying the game, making new connections, and continuously improving on the course and beyond.
