As a tour pro, you’re constantly battling your nerves and putting up with slow play. But one golfer has found an interesting way to deal with both.

Introducing Anna Redding, an Epson Tour pro and LPGA hopeful who spends time in between shots by reading books. Yep, that’s right. She reads books. During tournaments. And no, she’s not still in school.

We’re not sure how long the 26-year-old has been doing this, but he unusual routine has drawn attention recently on Golf Twitter. Have a look for yourself:

Has anyone ever seen this during competition? Charlotte, North Carolina's @_annaredding_ is getting in some quality reading on the fwys @EpsonTour @FL_Resort. Seems like a brilliant way to distract and calm the mind between swings.
BTW, presently, she's 1 under par thru 4 holes. pic.twitter.com/kTQP0xT39j

Wild stuff. More like Anna READing, am I right? Sorry, couldn’t resist. But maybe Anna is on to something here. Think about how much downtime there is during all those hours on the course — especially when you’re stuck with some really annoying playing partners.

Redding, currently in her fourth full season on the Epson Tour, graduated from the University of Virginia in 2019. And it won’t surprise you to learn that during her time in Charlottesville, she was named to the All-ACC Academic team all four years.

So what does she read when she’s out on the course? Well, Anna answered someone on Twitter the other day by singling out a mystery novel:

What was the book? Curious minds want to know. ?

And on Sunday, she posed her own question:

who wants to join my book club? pic.twitter.com/kCGFfAJMLl

Sounds fun, Anna. We just might do our reading at home.
