Banner Graphic: Who has influenced you the most in life?
Kyndra Boyce: My sister because she is the one who influenced me to be involved in all of the sports that I am in and the career path that I have chosen.

KB: It's such a mental sport. If you have one bad hole you can't let that bring you down and you have to just go on to the next one with a positive attitude.
BG: How much of an effect do your teammates have on you?

KB: My individual goal would be to beat my lowest score from last year and our team goal would probably be to also just all do the best we can and beat our lowest team score from last season.
BG: What are your plans after high school?
KB: I plan to go to ISU and become a pediatric nurse.
