Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career
I was playing a heptangular at Kingswood where different interprovincial teams play against one another. I was playing against three players, each from a province in a fourball, myself and the southern cape player had won against our other two opponents. We got to the 15th hole. I hit 3 wood, he hit driver, both lying in the middle of the fairway. I went first from 120m and hit it one bounce in the hole for eagle. He hit his a bit thin, got good bounce and rolled into the hole for eagle as well. We halved the hole. That was the most exciting rounds I have ever played in matchplay and the best golf I have ever played. I finished my round 9 under and my opponent 10 under.
Goals:
I want to be a successful college golfer and after that I would like to turn professional. I would then like to be a recognized player in the sport throughout the world.
