Very inspiring. All the best Pratima
who is pratima's coach?
Why did her mom put dippin dots on her head?
Congratulations Pratima on your many good tournament plays, and especially for continuing to work hard at golf. You are an inspiration. Blessings to you and your family.
No doubt she’ll qualify eventually and when she does I bet all the sponsors will be drooling over her. Just keep trekking Pratima!
Great story. She's a champion in every way
This needs more likes. So incredibly inspiring. I cried tears of joy. Very powerful. She is going to make it one day, no doubt. ♥️
Absolutely incredible story.
well done Pratima keep it up.i wish you all the best for 2018
she is a source of inspiration
The producers of this charming little video would’ve hit a home run if Miss Sherpa had won the tournament; but she didn’t. To imply that the trip to the US played any part in her finish is a little deceitful. I seriously doubt that she got off the airplane from the US and walked to the first tee to begin the tournament. Her current home makes her far more familiar with that course than any of the other contestants. She lost fair and square to better players. This “bumpy greens” business does dishonor to the winner.
proud to be Nepali
More power to you girl
Best wishes 💕💕
The owners of this golf coarse should be embarrassed that they let good people live like this.
What a beautiful and courageous girl! And so inspiring! May she succeed!
Pratima's father should not feel bad at all… to the contrary!!! He and his wife have shown Pratima what an honest days work is… shown dignity… This extraordinary young lady is a reflection of her mother and father… they both have been very successful… obviously… Mr Sherpa, you and your wife should walk proud, and feel GOOD, for the example you have set for your daughter… and the wonderful life you have provided her!!!!!
My prayers are with you, young lady. I strongly believe you are going to live your dreams and continue to inspire all of us.
What human would ever give this story a thumbs down! Absolutely appalling! Is the girl in the shed. 200sqft., pursuing an imposible dream? No! Not at all. Perseverance will out. Does anyone truly believe she will not succeed beyond the success she has already had? I look forward to seeing her in the Olympics.
Much respect Pratima, Rise above all
I am sure Pratima cannot read these messages. Which, if true is a shame. I am obsessed with golf like Pratima. But I have never seen anyone so appreciative of what they have, when most of us would have said that she had nothing when we first started watching this video. It is true that she has everything because she has great parents. I have no doubt that she will succeed and get her parents out of that little shack. The people of Nepal have potentially a great ambassador of golf in their own back yard and the fact they do not try to help her and give her the opportunity to compete against other women is a shame. Women do not compete against men in any other sport anywhere in the world. Also, I cannot tell you the name of one famous Nepalese male golfer. I am rooting for Pratima and the worldwide golfing community to change that and show the Nepalese what true courage and tenacity in chasing your dreams looks like in their country.
future champ
Did that guy just say “Impordant”?
Great story. Keep up the hard work Pratima.
What a beautiful story , thanks espn . This touched my soul and I could literally feel what the girl was going through. Cool father though.
I'm going to be looking for you Pratima oneday on the LPGA it;s going to happen, very inspiring story !!! I also noticed there are 9 thumbs down probley from rich people. You can't be human to give this a thumbs down sick people.You show the world Pratima We in America are rooting for you sweetie pie !!!
I am prod of her. Many more congrats
she is a fighter and plzz dont forget the peoples who help you to rise you n your carrier good luck sweety
Its a matter of time, she will make it to the LPGA!
Shut up. I’m not crying!
Forbes 30 under 30 2020. Just wow! Incredible achievement at just 20 years of age. Make Nepal proud bahini. You already made your parents proud. All the best.
someone please buy her parents a home
Where and what Pratima is doing as of 2020 ? Is she back in her shed or in states ?
Is there a update on her parents? i searched on google and couldn't find one
I just want to point out… "Adventures in golf" found her first. Erik Anders Lang played with her when she was not known… A nobody. Do not get me wrong, I am glad to see her getting the recognition she deserves on a bigger platform, like ESPN. However, I will always credit the finding of her skills, to the "Skratch" YouTube channel.
I hope to see Pratima win a LPGA Major one day. Would be something magical, like a perfect storybook!
🙏
Pratima‘a dad ❤️
Awesome
Sherpa
