Alyssa Serino is eight-years-old, but she already has a room full of medals and trophies from various junior golf tournaments. She quickly figured out that the first place trophies are much bigger than the others, so she is going to try to win more of those.

But perhaps the best prize she has won so far is a remote control dog she aptly named “Robot Dog.”

“I was playing with my Grandpa Tony Serino and I said if I beat you on this hole then you have to buy me a toy at the store,” Alyssa said. “And he said if he wins then I have to give him one of my Bridgestone golf balls. I beat him so I got to go to the store.”

Don’t feel bad, Tony. Alyssa, who lives in Oldsmar, has been beating plenty of kids since she discovered golf as a six-year-old. She plays on the U.S. Kids Golf tour during the summer and plays on the Greater Tampa Bay Junior Golf Association tour in the winter.
