As a tour pro, you’re constantly battling your nerves and putting up with slow play. But one golfer has found an interesting way to deal with both.

Introducing Anna Redding, an Epson Tour pro and LPGA hopeful who spends time in between shots by reading books. Yep, that’s right. She reads books. During tournaments. And no, she’s not still in school.
