Hello my name is Ashlyn Johnson. I am a Junior at Hillside High School in San Mateo, CA. I have been playing golf for 6 years. I am also deaf, I was born that way and today I wear bilateral cochlear implants. Meaning with my cochlear implants on I can hear almost as well as any other person, but without them on, I cannot hear anything. I am a very good sleeper, LOL. I love all sports and played softball and flag football when I was younger. Now I play basketball and golf. My dad started taking me and my sisters golfing when we were young and I have grown to love the game. I would say my strengths are my ball striking, chipping and passion to get better. I need to improve on course management and managing my passion, sometimes I get a little fired up on the course. I want to play college golf and one day perhaps play professionally.
I was selected to compete for Team USA in the 2020 Wold Deaf Golf Championships to be held at Forest of Arden, Birmingham, England in August of 2020. I was the youngest member on the team (12 years old at the time of my selection). Unfortunately the event was canceled due to COVID-19. I am slated to compete at the United States Deaf Golf Championships at Falconhead Golf Club in Austin, Texas in June of 2021.
I did compete in the United States Deaf Gold National Championships in June of 2021 in Austin, Texas. I shot a 4 day score of 304 with rounds of 78, 77, 75 and 74 at a distance of 5800 yards. I won 1st place, and set a 4 day USDGC record for total strokes in the women's division. I will now will compete in the 2022 World Deaf Golf Championships in Lihue, HI. I also am looking to compete in the 2022 Deaflympics in Caxias do Sul, Brazil next May.
I want to compete in as many arenas as I can in my junior golf career to prepare me to play at the highest level I can collegiately. I am a hard worker and have already overcome much in my life. I am a fighter and will never give up. I love God, my family and friends, my puppy and playing golf.
