What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

He loves to compete, and improve his skills. Loves meeting new friends, and travelling to different cities to see new golf courses.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

His Dad was a pro golfer when he was younger. He looks up to his Dad for guidance and mentorship. Riding the fickle fragile train that learning golf is, is difficult to manage emotions, he looks to his Dad for guidance.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

When he was 13years old, he would take every opportunity to practice on the driving range and then would join up with anyone who didn't have a foursome. He joined up with 2 senior ladies, and they bought him a chocolate bar and a bottle of iced tea. After the round they asked the pro shop for my contact. They couldn't get over how polite and well mannered he was. They said I should be proud, that my husband and I had done a great job thus far.
