About Sidney Roseman –
Hello, my name is Sidney Roseman and I’m a 10 year old junior girl golfer. My golf journey began when I was 6 months old when I attended my first charity golf scramble with my parents just outside of Chicago, Illinois. At the age of 2, I received my first real set of golf clubs. For my 5th birthday my parents gifted me a set of golf lessons with my very first coach Doug Schultz at Back Spin Golf. Coach Doug helped to foster my love of the game and to build the foundation for my current golf swing today. I started playing in tournaments at the age of 8 and my goal is to one day play golf for the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and hopefully make it onto the LPGA. When I’m not on a golf course playing or practicing, I enjoy reading and visiting the St. Louis Zoo.
