Long-hitting professional Maude-Aimée LeBlanc is retiring from professional golf. The 30-year old Sherbrooke, Que., native announced her decision on her official Facebook page.
“I decided to retire from professional golf forever. Over time, I realized it wasn’t my dream and it didn’t make me happy even after good performances. I didn’t like the person I was on the golf course and I’ve always wanted to do something more rewarding than hitting a little white ball. Also being constantly away from home and the people I love was very difficult. I am very excited about the next chapter of my life and I have a lot of things I want to accomplish. I am extremely lucky to have met amazing people through golf and incredibly grateful for the support of so many people over all these years. I will never forget it ????”
As an amateur, LeBlanc was a member of Golf Canada’s Team Canada high-performance program from 2006-2010. She played collegiate golf at Purdue University, where she helped her team win the 2010 NCAA Team Championship. She also captured the 2006 International Junior Orange Bowl and 2006 Canadian Junior Girls Championship.
