cart girl
Val Griesbach Which group of people did you associate most with in high school? I hung out with a group of girls from class that I’ve known forever, they’re my ride or dies and I miss them so much! What is your favorite sport to play? Favorite to watch? As much as I’d like to say golf, my favorite sport is actually soccer, I love playing and watching it! Do you enjoy playing golf? Are there any golfers in your family? I don’t have any golfers in the family, but I recently started to learn how to play, it’s such a unique sport and I’m ready to take any tips and tricks from our golfers. What do you feel makes this club special? I believe that having a good team that cares about the well-being of our golfers is so important and that quality is what makes Hawk’s Landing so special. The perfectly maintained course and our island green is a cherry on top. What is your favorite part of being a cart girl? What is your least favorite part? My favorite part about being a cart girl is making sure everyone is having fun! Meeting new people and having such amazing conversations with each and every one of them is the highlight of my day. Playing golf can get so stressful at times and I make it my priority to ensure they’re having a good time by serving them my signature drinks. My least favorite would definitely be working in the rain What is your memorable moment working as a cart girl? I will never forget the day a golfer approached me and gave me a tip after I made him his favorite drink and he said, if you do good things, good comes back to you. Like happy karma. He made his shot and got a hole in one!

Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Ecuador, right in the dynamic and vibrant capital, Quito. I feel so lucky to have experienced the history and culture for so many years of my life and I am so fortunate to have called it my home. Three years ago, my family and I moved to the Land of opportunity. Here in the US I’ve thrived and I’m excited to see where my next steps take me. 18
Do you think the cart girls should be able to dress differently? How you prefer dress if you were given a choice? I wouldn’t change my cart girl outfit for anything! Like come on, a skirt and colorful polo sweater vest. Who would ask for more? It’s perfection! What is the funniest thing you’ve ever seen on the golf course? The funniest thing I’ve seen is a guy making his shot with his legs submerged in the lake, if he was aiming for the hole under the lake, then I’d say he was very successful. What type of music do you prefer? I’m obsessed with reggaeton if you see me at the golf course there’s a high chance I’m blasting some Bad Bunny while giving everyone a free concert.
