The story of Emily Brink's golf career isn't what you might expect from a college athlete. The Western Illinois University graduate student and QND alum was forced to play through her fair share of pain due to a genetic condition in her hips. Even after a series of surgeries forced her to miss an entire season of college golf, Emily returned to the Quincy Women's City Championships last week as strong as ever, and is eager to play her final year in Macomb.
