About Sophia Hinds

I am a second-year Sports Management major with minors in Marketing and Business Administration at the University of Dayton. Growing up in Jefferson City, Missouri, I developed a deep respect and passion for golf through years of competitive play, which sparked my interest in the business and operational side of the sport. My experience as a Boatwright Intern with the Missouri Golf Association gave me valuable insight into golf administration, event operations, and the role that organizations play in growing the game at both the local and state levels. Through this opportunity, I gained hands-on experience supporting tournaments, working with players and volunteers, and learning how strategic planning and community engagement contribute to successful golf programming.I am passionate about pursuing a career in the golf and sports industry, particularly in areas related to operations, event management, and player development. I am eager to continue building professional connections, gaining industry experience, and contributing to organizations that promote and expand the game of golf.
