Booth, 32, made history as a youngster when she became the youngest ladies' club champion when she was just ELEVEN.
She went on to play in her first professional event aged 14, finishing an impressive 13 at the Ladies Scottish Open.
Booth's early pro career was highly successful and she won her first event in May 2012 - the Ladies Scottish Open.
Her second Ladies European Tour triumph came the following month when she won the Swiss Open.
Booth would have to wait seven years for her third LET victory, triumphing at the Czech Ladies Open in August 2019.
A hugely popular player, her athletic ability and occasional unleashing of some BACKFLIPS on the course earned her plenty of fans.
But her golf career has been full of frustration in recent years, with injury absolutely wreaking havoc.
First of all, she required shoulder surgery in 2020 before making a return.
A freak accident in 2022 saw Booth slip in her kitchen, and she felt her knee pop out.
The injury required surgery and in early 2024, she underwent the knife again to undergo a reconstruction of her ACL.

Months later, she had an operation on her OTHER knee.
In those days, a return to professional golf might've seemed a distant dream but this week, it will become a REALITY for Booth.
More than three years on from her last LET appearance, she's part of the field for the Tenerife Women's Open.
She revealed in a social media post late last year that she was eyeing a positive 2025.
Booth said in October: "I have to admit, it's been tough having surgery on both knees this year.
"A constant uphill battle, but feeling positive and making great progress.
"Looking forward to what next year brings."
The Tenerife Women's Open is back on the LET schedule for the first time since 2011.
Booth and the rest of the field will head to Abama Golf on the west side of the island.
Booth has already checked in to the impressive resort for some practice.
She also shared a snap chilling out in a jacuzzi ahead of Thursday's opening round.

"My little king," Megan wrote. "I live in Landon's world now… yes Landon is eating a ribeye steak at the Corinthia. "He deserves the best and only the best!" Megan also said that travelling from hotel to hotel sometimes makes it hard when it comes to feeding her little boy. The family currently live in Germany, so have to stay in hotels when they come back to the UK. "It's really hard to feed Landon when we're in hotels all the time," Megan sighed. "So I'm trying to order food that's healthy for him and good for him. "But sometimes for dessert it's a little fruit pouch because I can't be stewing up fresh fruit when I'm on the move!" The video then showed Landon sitting in a highchair at the restaurant in the hotel, as he once again looked delighted with the offerings. Megan McKenna and Oliver Burke look loved-up in pics from joint stag and hen party ahead of wedding However, while Landon looked to be enjoying his steak, mashed potato and broccoli, trolls were almost immediately active in the comments - taking aim at Megan and warning her that the meat is a choking hazard. "He shouldn't be eating steak at this age he can choke," one wrote. "At least puree it. "You're trying to make him eat like you do, make it make sense!" "My baby nearly choked on white chocolate, scared the life out of me," another sighed. But others insisted the tot eats better than them.

I'm a dermatologist - there's two little-known signs of skin cancer almost everyone misses
Don't ignore a patch of itchy skin that simply won't heal—it could be skin cancer. It's one of two common niggles, along with a pimple that doesn't go away, that consultant dermatologist Dr Fatima Awdeh has identified as a possible sign of the disease, including deadly melanoma. In a new video posted to the Instagram page of her dermatology clinic, Riverside Skin and Laser Clinic, the Essex-based medic outlined little-known skin problems that set off alarm bells. Firstly, she revealed a new brown streak under a fingernail makes her worry about melanoma—which kills around 2,300 people in the UK every year. This is a sign of a rare type of the disease called subungual melanoma, which presents as discoloration underneath the nail that looks like a bruise. A second sign that patients are rarely aware of, she said, is a patch of eczema that does not heal. This could be a sign of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the second most common skin cancer, with more than 25,000 people in the UK diagnosed with the condition every year. While it is highly survivable in early stages, when spotted late it can spread to other areas of the body, making it more difficult to treat. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Riverside Skin & Laser Clinic (@riversideskinlaserclinic) While many serious skin cancers begin in moles, experts have urged the public to look out for other changes that don't involve the traditional raised, coloured spot. For instance, Dr Awdeh said an unhealed spot could be a basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a slow growing cancer that is the most common skin cancer in the UK. While BCCs do not usually spread throughout the body, and are almost always cured, treating them can involve removing large chunks of skin, leaving patients with disfiguring scars. Some of these growths appear as flat, red, scaly marks or have a pearl-like rim. Many become ulcerated, while others are lumpy with shiny nodules. In the caption, Dr Awdeh wrote: 'Signs of skin cancer can include new growths or changes in existing ones, such as moles or patches of skin, that are new, changing, or growing. Melanoma is the UK's fifth most common cancer, as well as the deadliest type of skin cancer, resulting in 2,000 deaths a year. The most common sign of this lethal type is a mole that grows, bleeds or changes colour. In order to reduce the risk of all types of skin cancer, the NHS recommends that Britons wear sunscreen when spending time in the sun, regardless of the temperature. Melanoma is caused by cellular damage from UV and UVB rays from the sun and tanning beds, but those with a family history of the disease are at greater risk. Awareness of this type of cancer is increasing, partly spurred on by celebrities including Hugh Jackman, 56, Katherine Ryan, 41, Khloe Kardashian, 40, and Molly-Mae Hague, 25 openly sharing their diagnoses. A common misconception is that melanoma solely affects the skin on the face, body, and limbs, but it can also develop on other areas vulnerable to sun damage — the mouth, scalp, nail beds, soles of the feet, palm of the hands and fingers. The health service also recommends, during spring and summer, that people spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm, when the sun is at its strongest.

Three-weight world champion Vasiliy Lomachenko retires after more than 400 FIGHTS in lengthy video
BOXING great Vasiliy Lomachenko has announced his retirement - bringing the end to an iconic career. Lomachenko has the greatest amateur record of all time, winning 396 times with just one loss - which he avenged. 6 Vasiliy Lomachenko has announced his retirement from boxing Credit: Instagram / @lomachenkovasiliy 6 Lomachenko retires as a three-weight champion Credit: Getty As a professional, the masterful southpaw won titles at feather, super-feather and lightweight. And he dazzled fans with his incredible footwork, combination punching and speed. He beat George Kambosos last May in Australia but has not fought since - rejecting talks to later fight Gervonta Davis. It cast doubt over his future in the sport - and now Loma has confirmed his retirement in a lengthy Instagram video. READ MORE IN BOXING FOOD FOR THOUGHT Wardley lived off ice cream and noodles after brutal Frazer Clarke fight He thanked his family, including his dad and coach Anatoly, his manager Egis Klimas, long-time promoter Bob Arum and the fans. Loma turned pro in 2013 - a year after the London Games - and did so after winning double Olympic gold. He wanted to fight for world title on his DEBUT - but was unable to do so without a ranking. Loma beat Jose Luis Ramírez in four quick rounds before challenging Orlando Salido for the WBO featherweight title. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS But Salido - a part-time Uber driver - upset Loma and used veteran tactics to edge out a points decision. That did not deter Loma, though, as he bounced back with victory over Gary Russell Jr in his next fight to become champ after just three bouts. 'Back to the grind in a few days' - Anthony Joshua shows off results of elbow surgery as boxing star closes in on return The southpaw sensation then went on an unbeaten run over 13 fights and five years - winning titles at 126lb, 130lb and 135lb. Loma fought at lightweight despite being vastly oversized by his opponents - something that would inevitably catch up with him. Teofimo Lopez stunned him in 2020 to win the unified titles and three years later, Devin Haney would controversially beat Loma on points. Loma returned 12 months later to stop Kambosos in 11 rounds - winning back the IBF belt - but he later vacated the strap. And despite being linked with big-money bouts against the likes of Davis and Shakur Stevenson - it marked the end of the road for one of the sport's greatest. Loma was a fighter inside and outside of the ring - signing up to defend his country after Russia's invasion in February 2022. He enlisted with the Territorial Defence Forces - but eventually returned to boxing to resume his career. Loma hangs up his gloves with 418 total fights - amateur and pro - 414 wins, just four losses and a host of gold medals and world title belts. 6 Lomachenko beat George Kambosos in his last fight Credit: EPA 6 He suffered a controversial loss to Devin Haney Credit: Getty 6 Lomachenko was beaten by Teofimo Lopez in 2020 Credit: Handout - Getty 6 Lomachenko was a double Olympic champion Credit: Getty Images - Getty
