For Lauren Epstein '00, golfing began as a convenient way to get out of chores.
"Basically I just wanted to get out of the house and so I'd try to tag along with my father to the range," Epstein said.
Now she's the top player on the Dartmouth women's golf team and golf has changed from an excuse to a way of life.
"It's something you can do for the rest of your life," said Epstein, who says after college she'll continue to play, hopefully in some amateur tournaments.
Epstein, who hails from Syosset, New York, has been golfing since she was nine, but didn't begin playing real rounds of golf until age 12.
When she entered eighth grade, Epstein joined her high school's golf team, which at the time was all men.
