What does a pro golfer do best? Well, plenty of things, but we’d imagine being allergic to freshly cut grass is a bit of a downer. Jill isn’t too put off by her allergy though. In fact, she says that it helps her focus on the field.

Many golfers actually get hooked on the sport out of their love for the great outdoors, immaculate lawns and fresh air. Not McGill though, who is, ironically, allergic to grass. And not just any kind of grass – fresh cut grass. Where do you find grass that is cut daily to assure perfect height of the leaves? Well, at a golf course, that’s where.

Nothing says dedication, resolution and strength, not to mention the absolute passion about the sport, as exposing yourself day after day to what makes you feel absolutely lousy. McGill says that there was a time she was forced to put little balls of tissue paper up her nostrils to keep fluid from pouring out every time she played or practiced golf.
