Golf is my life and passion. I cannot imagine doing anything different than golf. That’s why I set up my Academy. I spent a lot of time on the green, I love it so much. that I would never work on something else. This sport is still developing in Poland and therefore it’s so beautiful. I show the way, grow, and hope that one day I will train an exceptional golfer.

Martyna Mierzwa, professional golfer, talks about her adventure on the green. The interview is available in the latest edition of S’portofino catalog. 

How long have you played golf and why did you start playing?

I have been playing for 15 years. I started when I was 12 years old. My dad took me to the golf course in Poznań next to Ławica airport. I liked it right away and I was good at it. When I excel at something I never give up! I was improving day by day and when other growing up girls gave up on golf for other pleasures, I kept on playing. I was totally preoccupied by golf and I played at least 5 times a week.


What’s so special about golf that it became the love of your life?

I love golf, because it can be both easy and difficult, pleasant and irritating. Every day brings something different and makes you want to be a better player. Your play can deteriorate overnight, so you have to train all the time. In golf you will never achieve perfection, it’s addictive like a drug. Apart from that, playing golf you have to fight against yourself. The game gives us a lot of time to discover your strengths and weaknesses. To be a good golf player, you have to be mentally strong. Of course, there are other reasons why I love golf, for example I like the contact with nature among my friends, adrenaline, and rivalry.

For whom is golf? Is there any character feature that helps in being a good golfer?

Golf is for everyone, sex and age are of no importance. It’s hard to say which character feature helps. Once I said that it’s a sport for a patient person, but it’s not entirely true. For example I am very impatient in everyday situations, and totally opposite on the green. Golf can calm a nervous and impatient person. It’s quite probable that people who like extreme sports and feel the need for the rush of adrenaline and high pulse won’t find golf appealing. Golf can be practiced recreationally and professionally, anyone can do this in their favorite form and frequency.

What’s the most difficult about golf and makes them give up quickly?

Controlling your emotions is the most difficult challenge. You shouldn’t worry about failures or one missed hole. Forgetting about previous holes is very useful, many people are unable to do this because it’s very difficult. The best way to achieve success is to forget what happened and play hit after hit. When I play in the tournament I imagine that I am only training and nothing bad is going to happen. Pressure isn’t needed when playing golf, you have to relax.

How do you choose your clothes for golf?

When it comes to golf apparel, I pay attention to comfort and fabrics. I played golf in very high temperatures and clothes made from very thin, technical fabrics made it possible for me to play for many hours on a golf course. Obviously apart from comfort I also appreciate good look. I like it when clothes emphasize femininity and preserve golf etiquette. I personally enjoy playing in skirts and dresses. I appreciate when they’re made from thin and elastic fabrics, I feel comfortable wearing them and they make it easier for me to play in hot weather. You can see me on the green wearing a skirt and sleeveless t-shirt because such clothes provide me with freedom of movement which is very essential for me.
