Quotes
Steph’s Mantra:
~ “Live for the moment. You might only get one shot to make your dream come true.”
On Life:
~ “I just want to be happy with my life and where I am at, no matter what.”
On Learning:
~ “I learn something every day. Just when I think I know it all, I see a new shot or a different technique. I try to be aware of what is going on around me. I think this will make me a better player and a better person.”
On Her Game:
~ “Golf is a different kind of sport. You can’t think about trying to beat those you are playing with. Unless you’re in a playoff situation, you have to stay within yourself. Play your own game. Don’t force shots. Just let the game flow.”
On Her Fans:
~ “To have support from friends and fans, that’s important to me. I find I really want to play well for them. I know I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for my friends, sponsors and other supporters.”
On Her Competitors:
~ “In my opinion, everyone on the LPGA has the talent to be there, but only the strong and mentally tough people can win and be on tour consistently.”
What Others Say:
~ “Stephanie is what it’s all about. She’s a local athlete who excelled on her high school and college teams, played as an amateur in the YWCA’s FUTURES tournament, proceeded to the FUTURES Tour, and just qualified for the LPGA … We look forward to watching her become one of the top women golfers on the LPGA.” - Leslie Bentz Brown, 2005 YWCA FUTURES Classic tournament organizer
~ “[Stephanie] George had such a work ethic. She would hit golf balls when the sun was coming up before class. One thing you could tell about both [Stephanie and Laura Terebey] was that their best golf was still in front of them.” - Matt Sutphin, Head Coach, Radford University
