​biography
​

At the ripe age of four years old Nayan grabbed ahold of her first golf club, from that point on there was no going back. 2 years later she would go on to be the youngest and first ever female player to compete on the Junior Linkster Tour created by Harry White disciple of Moe Norman.


Throughout her ten year junior career, she worked with Jennifer Wyatt (LPGA Member) and Vancouver's Harry White. During her competitive junior career she went on to win over a hundred awards and placed top ten at The Callaway Junior World Golf Championship three years in a row. She received Player of The Year Awards on a yearly basis which inspired more hard work and dedication. At the age of twelve she was awarded a merit based scholarship through The British Columbia Golf Association. All of this amounted to her earning a spot on Team Canada from 2003-2008.


During the course of her competitive years as a junior she had 7 holes in one and was featured on television as well as in local newspapers as the young female golfer to watch.


After over a decade of competing she decided to take a break from the sport to focus on growing herself as a young professional and went on to work in 4 different countries. At the age of 19 she studied Yoga at Swami Sivananda's Vedanta Centre on Paradise Island, Bahamas. During her seven months at the centre, she studied the mind-body connection and proceeded to get her certification as a Hatha Yoga Instructor.


2018 was a pivotal year for Nayan as she made the decision to dust her set of clubs off and give her lifelong dream of being Canada’s greatest golfer another try. 


After just 3 months of training, Nayan shot -1 in her second event as an amateur on the Vancouver Golf Tour. Having to earn a living to fund her way back into the sport, she spent over a year working as program director and head golf coach with The First Tee of Greater Vancouver, a junior golf program created to give under privileged children the chance to learn and experience the game of golf.


In late 2018 Nayan made the decision to turn pro and fully dedicate herself to earning a tour card. She made the move to Mexico to train for 6 months before returning home to compete full time. In her first event as a pro she achieved her career low round in a tournament with a (-2) 70 in April 2019. 


Summer of 2019 was the first time Nayan competed in LPGA Q-School and came out having earned status on the Symetra Tour for 2020. She also competed and place 4th in the Women’s Division at the Vancouver Open shortly thereafter.


Nayan continues to compete both locally and in the states with the hopes of earning her LPGA tour card by 2023.
