Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory in golf is when I went on a golfing road trip in March 2021. I was playing in very difficult conditions, but I found a solution and grinded my way out whilst enjoying the experience. I played well and got paired with highly ranked players from whom I learnt a lot.
Goals:
To become one of the best golfers in the world!
