She took up the sport at age 10 at the Smorum Golf Club in Denmark. (Facebook page, 12 Jul 2016)

Her grandfather began playing golf when he retired, and her mother, father and brother soon joined him. "Golf quickly caught my interest, and although it started out as a hobby, I soon found that I had a talent for it. Since then it has become a way of life and the golf club has almost been my second home." (Facebook page, 12 Jul 2016; politiken.dk, 27 Dec 2014)

SOUR TRICK
Ahead of the 2019 season, she and her mental coach came up with a method for her to deal with her nerves while playing. Her caddy Nicki Hansen carries lemon wedges, which she sucks on when she feels herself getting nervous as a way to moderate her emotions. "It's like taking your senses away from whatever you're on and thinking about this lemon, which is really disgusting and not very nice. Well, it's just if I get nervous or too angry or something, it's just to take my mind off that stuff. So, yeah, bite a lemon. It is [gross], yeah. That's why I'm doing this." (golfdigest.com, 01 Jun 2019)

PARTNER CADDY
Her partner Nicki Hansen is also her caddy and manager. The couple say the arrangement works because they are able to separate their work life and their personal life. "Nanna is the boss and I am the employee," says Hansen. (tv3sport.dk, 15 Jun 2019; golfavisen.dk, 03 Dec 2020)

FROM DENMARK TO USA
In 2014 she moved from Denmark to the United States of America to enter the University of South Carolina. However, she dropped her studies the following year in order to turn professional. She returned to the United States of America in late 2020 when she and her partner Nicki Hansen moved to Boca Raton, FL, to train at Boca West Country Club. "I will have better training facilities, better weather and less travel time [in the United States of America]. We also just have to see if it is something for us."
