I play Golf because…
it is what I am best at and because I simply enjoy it very much. I have been playing tournaments for more than ten years now, I have practised thoroughly and I have always dreamt of turning my hobby into profession. I am more than happy to be able to accept this new opportunity now.
Home to me is…
joining my family for a nice dinner and talking about and discussing all kinds of things until late at night.
What I like is…
when people are honest, have a sense of humour and don‘t mind my sarcasm.
What I don‘t like at all is…
when people are not on time and unreliable, when they want to tell me about things I undoubtably know better.
I think I am best at…
performing under pressure! Already at school, due to my practise, I had little time for my homework but delivered always on time. On the Golf course, too, I have been able to show my best performance in specially tight situations and could win some tournaments this way.
I think I am very bad at…
loosing. My temper had cost me some wins, nervs and racquets in Tennis earlier. That‘s why I am glad having decided for a sport where I can play my own game and take sole responsibility for it.
I can best relax…
on the couch in front of the TV or with a good book. And I really enjoy cosy rounds with my friends, chatting and having a good laugh.
If I could choose who to spend a day with I would probably pick…
the singer PINK because I have enjoyed her cool way and music for years already . I would like to have a taste of the life of a pop star, altough I‘m sure it would not be my cup of tea.
If I was an animal then probably…
an eagle because it‘s purposive and sure of its aim — characteristics of mine.
My idol in sports is…
no particular sports person. I always try to filter the best from every special sports man or woman using it for me personally and my game. I do not want to copy anyone but to develop and strengthen my own personality.
