Her parents work on the course's grounds crew.  Sherpa aims and dreams of becoming the first professional female golfer of Nepal. Woods in an interview revealed that he is absolutely stunned by the story of this little 8 year old girl. Also, he is extremely happy to meet her. Sherpa received a private, 30-minute lesson at the back of the driving range. She used Woods's clubs and hit barefooted -- before joining the rest of the group for the full clinic. Sherpa is extremely happy and feels that she is fortunate enough to receive such an opportunity.
