Meet Kyle and Rylee.
At Bonk Golf, we’re all about passion for the game—and that passion looks extra special when it comes from the next generation. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on two incredible young players who embody everything we love: pure joy, relentless progress, and a whole lot of time spent outside swinging clubs. Say hello to Kyle and Rylee, six-year-old twins (Rylee is the big sister by just one minute!) from Colorado who are already making waves in junior golf.
These first-graders live for the outdoors. Between swimming, golf, and simply playing, they’re the definition of active kids who’d rather be running around than sitting still. Golf entered their world at age four through First Tee, and though the local program wasn’t quite the perfect fit, it lit the spark. Last year they jumped into real competition, and this season they’re leveling up even more—competing in Drive, Chip and Putt events, US Kids Golf tournaments, and the K-6 grade school tournament run by their high school coach.
They train under Paul Sarniak, a former PGA pro, in the PGA Junior League program, and their dedication shows every Sunday. Practice runs for 1.5 hours, then it’s straight into their “qualifying” progression—a structured challenge designed to push them back yardage by yardage as they improve.
Here’s how it works:
- Start with putting: Par three holes from just 5 yards.
- Then 25 yards: 6 holes, target score 24 or better.
- 50 yards: Another 6 holes, same 24 target.
- 100 yards: 9 holes, target 36.
- And eventually 150, 200, 250, and full tee boxes.
Rylee is currently crushing it at the 50-yard station—she carded a 27 last Sunday and is *so close* to that 24 benchmark. Kyle is grinding at 100 yards with plenty of room to grow, but her enthusiasm never wavers. The goal? Keep moving back, one milestone at a time.
Last year the twins weren’t ready for more than 9 holes. Fast-forward to this season: after just one week back, Kyle looked up and said, “I think I want to play 18!” That’s the kind of mindset we live for at Bonk Golf.
On the course, their personalities shine through their games. Kyle loves bombing drives with her driver and is ambidextrous when putting (though she leans left-handed). Rylee also crushes drives but really shines around the greens with her chipping. They’ve started tracking their own scores, and you can see the pride light up their faces every time they mark a hole.
Last November they got to experience the big stage at the ANNIKA LPGA tournament in Florida, where they “met” Nelly Korda, Charlie Hull, and the legend herself, Annika Sorenstam. Moments like that fuel dreams, and these girls are soaking it all up.
Mom keeps things grounded with one simple rule: no phones or tablets in the cart or on the course. It’s all about being present, enjoying the fresh air, and focusing on the next shot. That rule fits perfectly with the Bonk Golf ethos—premium, comfortable apparel built for long days outside, whether you’re chasing birdies or just loving the game.
Kyle and Rylee’s birthday is next weekend (they turn 7!), and the family is celebrating this Saturday. We’re sending them all the best wishes for another year of huge drives, clutch chips, and unstoppable twin energy.
Here’s to the future of golf—and to two little superstars who remind us why we do what we do. Keep grinding, Kyle and Rylee. We’ll be cheering you on, and we can’t wait to see you rocking Bonk gear on the course someday soon. The next generation is looking strong…and stylish.
Follow their journey (and tag us if you spot them in Bonk!)—because at Bonk Golf, we’re passionate about playing well and looking even better, no matter your age.
Happy swinging and Birthday!!
The Bonk Golf Team
