Carlee Shoemaker was playing the best golf of her life.

As a senior at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky., Shoemaker made her presence known. She won five tournaments, shot a five-under 67 at the Heritage Hill Collegiate (the lowest single round in program history), finished T-16 at the NAIA National Championship and broke the UC record for single-season stroke average at 74.21.

A three-time All Mid-South Conference first-team selection and two-time All-American, she was ready to take the next step with the aspirations of going professional. Thanks to an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID pandemic that shortened her junior season, Shoemaker transferred to Eastern Kentucky University, an NCAA Division I program in the Atlantic Sun Conference, for the 2021-22 season.

“I put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself,” Shoemaker said. “I just wanted to perform and I wanted to prove to myself I could do this. I had one year left so I said, ‘I want to win this, I want to win that.’

“And, in reality, I shouldn’t have done that.”
