ANDREA MILLER
VSGA SENIOR WOMEN ’ S GOLFER OF THE YEAR
Home Club : Club at Glenmore
What was your personal highlight of the year ? Winning the Senior Women ’ s Stroke Play is my highlight of the year . It felt great to capture the win on a difficult , tight course in windy conditions after an injury plagued season . A close second personal highlight was shooting my lowest competition stroke-play round ( 66 ) in the opening round of the Senior Women ’ s Amateur .
Golf goals for 2025 : I want 2025 to be my most successful year at The Homestead . I would like to earn my fifth VSGA Senior Amateur title , and I hope to find success in the U . S . Senior Women ’ s Amateur that will be played on the resort ’ s Cascades course . The Homestead has been an important part of me rediscovering competitive golf .
What is a fun fact no one knows about you ? Despite growing up in Houston , Texas , the semifinal and final matches of the Senior Women ’ s Amateur were the first two rounds I have played in a “ named ” tropical storm . And hopefully my last .
What golf ball do you play and how do you mark it ? Titleist ProV1 . I mark them with a pink smiley face . I like to remind myself to smile even when things aren ’ t going well .
How do you manage your life / golf time balance ? I have the privilege of working for a wonderful company that supports and encourages my aspirations in golf . My company gives me great flexibility to get my work done at any hour of the day ( often late nights and weekends ), but it also gives me the opportunity to carve out time to play these championships . The executive team generally can ’ t wait to follow me online , hear about how things go , and celebrate my successes . They do this not just for me but for anyone in the company in their respective sports as well . It is a blessing . I tend to do most of my practice in the early morning and on weekends . I make work my highest priority because it funds my golf endeavors , but I have found a beautiful balance in my current role at this company .
Dream destination golf trip : To celebrate my 55th birthday , I have a trip to Scotland scheduled for the spring of 2025 . Among the courses on her itinerary are : The Old Course in St Andrews , Kingsbarns , Royal Dornoch , Carnoustie , Cabot Highlands and Brora Golf Club .
