Interview
"Stay in the now - Believe in yourself"
When did you start playing golf and why?
About 8 years ago ( at the age of 7 ) my grandfather took me to a golfcourse near by his home - and i got hooked right away with this sport! I was fed up of running after a yellow tennis-ball all the time (my mum used to be a professional tennis-player). So I decided to "walk" after a little white ball - after this point i finally discovered my hidden talent.

Golf matters to me because ...
Competitive Golf is my passion - I can't imaging my life without this sport - There is always a new challenge. When you finally fixed a problem you already have to face another one. I mean how crazy is this. One day you play the best golf of your life, the next day you can't event "hit a golfball" or hole and important putt. But that's the thing - I love this sport because it pushes you to your mental limit. It's a never ending story!
KING of GREENS 2015 for me is ...
Great experience - a lot of fun and to meet up with other cool people living the same "sports-life".
Any message to your KING of GREENS competitors before hitting the green?
Stay in the now - Believe in yourself by Seve Ballesteros. I was lucky to meet this golf legend in person before he died way to young :(
