My first experience with Golf At the age of 6 months, my parents took me with on the golf round – in a Maxi-Cosi secured on a golf cart! I was sleeping most of the time but I already enjoyed the atmosphere of the golf course. At the age of 2 and 3 years, I spent the summer months in the USA at my grandfather’s house – direct on a golf course. I wasn’t able to fall asleep at night without going for a round with the golf cart. Of course, I also tried my first shots. |

My real start with Golf My father brought me my first real set of golf clubs with from a business trip in the USA. I was 4 years old and this was the start of my golf career. Over the next years, I participated in golf camps during summer vacation and played a few holes with my parents while on the round. |
