Elise Lim was about 3½ years old when she started playing golf. Now a freshman at Saint Francis High School, the Class of 2030 golfer has earned the No. 2 spot in the varsity lineup and taken first place at the California State Fair Championship.
Lim has also qualified for the Optimist International Junior Golf Championship. She represented First Tee Greater Sacramento in the NorCal Cup, where her team finished second.
What keeps Lim coming back to the course is the chance to get a little better each time she plays. She enjoys that there’s always something to work on, and she draws motivation from the family, coaches and teammates who support her along the way.
First Tee Greater Sacramento has helped Lim grow on and off the course. She now shares what she’s learned by teaching younger kids how to play. Away from golf, she enjoys traveling, listening to music, spending time with friends and family, and staying involved in her school and community.
Lim hopes to play Division I golf and pursue her interest in business at a university where she can challenge herself academically. For now, she’s focused on improving her game and making the most of her first varsity season at Saint Francis.
