Meet Annika Neumann, ONU student athlete with golf on her mind

By Bud Denega
Annika Neumann was, quite literally, born into the game of golf. Instead of a bouquet of congratulatory flowers or a smiling stuffed animal, Neumann's grandfather gifted her a set of plastic golf clubs on the day she was born. 

"Golf is kind of like a family thing," Neumann said. "… I don't know what my life be like without golf."

So it's not a stretch to say golf has been there every step of the way for Neumann, a junior golfer for Ohio Northern University.
