Asked what her major goal is as she settled into her new role as a first year trainee at Cowra Golf Club under the tutelage of club professional Tom Perfect the 19-year-old former Bathurst golfer had no hesitation.

"I want to organise a girls scholarship program in the central west to get young girls to play golf," she said.

"And to become a professional golfer, that would be pretty amazing, just to play a tournament would really be up there," she said.

Starting golf at the age of 12 Thompson has reduced her handicap to six which has made her more than competitive after making her traineeship debut among the more than 70 first year trainees competing at the Campbelltown Pro-Am last Monday.

While Cowra professional Perfect is certain to have a major influence on Thompson's career she says her brother Dylan has provided her with plenty of inspiration in her early years.

"He went to college in America and is now a trainee professional in Bathurst under Matt Barratt," she said.

"He's a really good golfer, I really got into golf after playing with him regularly."

A sporting allrounder Thompson says she played all sports at school before deciding golf is the game for her.

"I played a bit of everything, soccer, football, a bit of netball, I was big into tennis but just loved golf the most, it's a bit more challenging and you don't rely on a team," she said.

Already an Australian representative on the world stage the path to a three year traineeship hasn't been easy for Thompson who was forced to take several years away from golf after a major injury.

"I started when I was 12 and competed in a few tournaments before taking a break and getting back into golf but then had a major back injury about three years ago and broke my L5 (vertebrae).

"I got back into golf after that and now I'm a trainee," she said.

Thompson made her international debut in the United States in 2018 courtesy of victory in her age group at the Australian Junior Age Division Golf Championship that year.

Consistent rounds at Yeppoon's Capricorn Resort Golf took her to the top of the leader board in the 15s age group and second in the combined 15s and 16s age group earning her the right to take part in the World Stars of Junior Golf tour which consisted of matches in both Nevada and California.

"I was second in the second tournament and around 10^th in the first," Thompson said of her US experience.

"The first (tournament) wasn't the best, I was a bit nervous, but in the second I went pretty well."

After Campbelltown the competition steps up a notch with Thompson taking on second and third year trainees as well as first year trainees in future events on the golf calendar.

"They've put out a schedule of our tournaments and there are another two in February I'm also going to play," Thompson said.

"All are in NSW with COVID at the moment, that's what the schedule is going to look like until COVID settles down."
