When I was 7, my dad asked his friend to teach me. I played my first tournament competition when I was 8. I remember I shot around 125.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was 12. That's the great thing about golf. It doesn't matter how old or young you are. If you're 90 and can shoot a good score, people will want to play with you.
I was maybe only 13 or 14 when I started to play junior tournaments.
When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.
I started playing golf at about four years old.
I had two older brothers, so I was always competing with them. The guys I grew up with on the golf course, when I was 13, they were 15 or 16, and I was always trying to beat them.
I think I was 8 or 9 when I did my first play. It was at a community level, but that's when I knew that this is what I loved doing.
I've been athletic since I was a kid. My parents got me playing tennis when I was seven years old and I started to play competitively.
Between 12 and 14, I shot up a ridiculous amount. The muscles were struggling to stretch and grow at the rate my bones were growing. It gave me problems with my back and my hamstrings.
I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.
When I'd get out of school in the afternoon, I would go to the golf course, and I just picked the game up. And when I was 13 years old, I could shoot 70 - even-par 71, one over par and then something like that. I just took a liking to the game.
