Introduction
background
I was born and raised in the Northwest of England in Burnley, Lancashire, where I lived until the age of nine. In 2007 my family and I emigrated to Estepona in the South of Spain, which is where I found my love for the game of golf. I first picked up a golf club at the age of nine, but only really started to practice and play seriously at age 15, as I predominantly played football for my local team. By age 17, after self-teaching, my golfing abilities had greatly improved and I had already played in several local tournaments with some success. It was at this stage, that I realised that golf was what I wanted to pursue further. This led me to join the Jason Floyd Golf Academy in 2015 where I spent two years training and working on my golf game under the instruction of Jason Floyd himself and his team of coaches. Here I was able to improve all aspects of my game and lower my handicap from 11 to 4. Furthermore, during my time at the academy, I was introduced to the idea of attending university in the U.S.A, where I would be able to combine academics and golf. I was immediately interested in this concept and it led me to California, specifically on the Monterey Peninsula, where I spent four years on a golf scholarship at Monterey Peninsula College and California State University, Monterey Bay.

Professional golf
current status
I am currently spending my time practicing and playing local events here on the Costa Del Sol in Spain as I prepare myself for my first full year as a playing professional starting in 2022. I spend the majority of my time practicing at the Peter Gustafsson Golf & Sports Academy at Atalaya Golf, where I work on my swing, short game and putting. In addition, I also play in local professional events in very competitive fields. Furthermore, I strongly believe that fitness and being healthy is so important for any professional athlete, therefore I spend six days per week in the gym working on my strength & conditioning, speed, stretching and mobility, which are crucial factors for golfers, allowing me to prevent any potential injuries, as well as assisting me in the ability to produce an efficient and repetitive swing out on the golf course. My aspirations are to become a highly successful touring golf professional. With my dedication, high work ethic and passion for the game, I am confident I can make this a reality.

Sponsorship proposal To fully fund my year of travelling and competing as a golf tour professional, I would need €12,500 to cover my tournament entry fees and memberships, and an estimated €15,000 for travel, accommodation and food expenses. This amount will cover every expense for one full year and will allow me to compete and play my best without any financial worries. In order to raise these desired funds through sponsorships, there are several things I can do as a golf professional that may benefit you or your business: Brand Embroidery: As stated previously, every tournament that I take part in will be either televised on well-recognised broadcasting channels such as SkySports and Youtube, or reported and updated to social media platforms and news articles. Furthermore, pictures will be taken of players at every event and uploaded to the Internet and social media sites. This is a great opportunity for me to wear clothing and to have my equipment such as my golf bag and personal car containing company/business logos embroidered. Golf Lessons: Given my golf experience and skills, I am also able to provide sponsors and their families with golf lessons at their request, as well as giving golf clinics and group sessions at company outings or golf days. It would be my pleasure to connect with my sponsors and assist them with their golf games in every way that I can. Personal Social Media: I will also continuously update my personal social media accounts with regular updates of my progress, as well as pictures and videos in which I will be seen wearing clothing embroidered with company logos. In addition, I will include the name of my sponsors in my social media profiles and links to company sites when uploading a post. Tournament attendance: The possibility for sponsors to attend some of the tournaments I take part in across Europe where I will be available to socialise and entertain. Invitations to pro-ams: Invites for sponsors to take part in Pro-am tournaments with me when I take part in such events, if the sponsors schedule permits so. Regular Updates: Provide sponsors with regular updates of my progress and tournament schedule.
