Bonanno's experience as a student-athlete builds skills for successful future
Sabrina Bonanno, a recent graduate of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and four-year veteran of the Trojans Women's Golf Team, has been playing golf for as long as she can remember. Bonanno began playing golf with her father at the age of 3. One month later and the toddler/rising golf star already had her first golf coach. However, Bonanno said she didn't get "serious" about golf until she was 6 or 7 and began playing in tournaments. "Most kids got to play with their friends, but I got to play at the golf course," Bonanno said. "During my junior year at Ridgewood Community High School in Norridge, Illinois, I started looking at schools to play golf, and I really wanted to go south. I liked Little Rock from the moment I stepped on campus and met my coach."
