ARDMORE, PA – Emilia Migliaccio has enjoyed being a NARP.
For those not in the know, that acronym stands for non-athletic regular person and for the past 12 months now, the winner of five collegiate golf titles has been doing yoga, re-reading the Harry Potter series and traveling with her fiancé in her spare time and grinding on her master’s thesis on the impact of self-talk on player performance and grading papers as a teacher’s assistant. In other words, being a 23-year-old Wake Forest University graduate student.
What she isn’t doing is what everyone expected from her – namely chasing trophies and riches as a professional golfer. But during this past year of exploration and self-discovery, she also came to an important realization – she still loved competitive golf and in June she’ll scratch that itch by competing in her second straight Curtis Cup when Team USA attempts to retain the trophy on home soil at Merion Golf Club.
