But Billie Thompson is taking it all in her stride as she takes the golf world by storm.

The nine-year-old was approached by Channel Seven to appear on their new show 'Holey Moley', which pits golfers of different ages against each other on a miniature golf circuit.

Thompson and parents Daley Thompson and Nicole Perry now live on the Gold Coast, with Thompson a former star rugby league player with Turvey Park.

Former NRL star Joel Thompson is also a relative, and Billie has ambitions to become the first Indigenous golfer on the professional scene.

Daley, who also caddies and coaches his daughter, said she is leaving no stone unturned to achieve her goals.

"She started playing in (Australian-based) US kids tour events, won four tournaments there and started qualifying for different events," he said.

"Inside 12 months she qualified for the junior golf world championships and was invited to go to Pinehurst in North Carolina and COVID put that on hold, but since then she's hit scores to re-qualify.

"She was top ten in the Australian Open (in February) against the best kids in the word.

"Obviously sport is in the blood but we never push our children to do it. Most girls this age like to play with Barbie dolls or things like that, but our daughter's just golf, golf, golf."

Billie said her interest in golf was piqued when the family passed a course in the car one day.

"We were on the highway and went past a course and I asked dad what it was. It came up on TV and I asked if I could try it," she said.

"I'm hoping I can be a pro and I can go around the world and play golf."

She said the prospect of showcasing her skills on TV was daunting initially.

"At first it (Holey Moley) was scary but when I actually played against some people I knew it was really fun."

Daley joked it was he who was more intimidated than his daugher.

"Being a caddy and her coach it was very nerve wracking for me, kids this age don't really feel pressure," he said.

"It was definitely a great experience for her to have."
