What makes you different?
My never ending passion for golf!
I am fully dedicated to my education and sport. Once I heard about the possibility of studying and playing golf in the U.S. I knew right away that this is what I wanted to do. I spent numerous vacations in the U.S. to play golf with my father and it has always been the best time of my life.
Why do you want to compete in college?
The combination of education and my favorite sport is just perfect. The possibilities in the U.S. are unbeatable in that regard. Also, the fact that there are more students with the same educational goals and interest in golf makes it even better.
College Goals?
I will work hard to get the best possible education so that my professional future will allow me to pursue a career that I will be passionate about.
Anything else we should know?
I would like to become a professional golfer and play as a PGA tour pro. Meeting great people along the way, playing with the best and travelling will definitely open up my mind even more. Later in life, of course I hope to have a family with at least two golf crazy kids - so I will be able to continue what my father did with me and my siblings: he got us "infected“ with golf.
