Quick Fire Questions

What age did you start playing golf?

I started playing golf at 12. It’s late compared to most players. I played soccer and squash before golf and through the first few years of learning the game.

Favourite course to play at in New Zealand and favourite outside of New Zealand?

Always going to say my home club The Pines Golf Club…! Otherwise Muriwai Golf Club is a pretty special place to play, everyday can be different. My favourite course internationally would have to be Muirfield Golf Course in Scotland.

If you weren’t a golfer would you be a cricketer?

I’m not sure if I would or not, they are very similar sports. I like to watch the shorter formats of cricket so yes, there would be a possibility I would play cricket.

How do you look after yourself to stay on peak performance?

I spend time in the Gym 3 times a week, a lot of stretching and mobility. I use mindfulness, meditation and gratitude tools for my mental performance on and off the course.

What is your favourite thing to do when not playing golf?

Fishing, I come from a big fishing family.

What is your go to meal to cook?

Chicken and Haloumi Salad

Favourite golfing memory?

My favourite golfing memory would have to be lifting the National Interprovincial Trophy with the Northland Golf team in 2018. It was the first time Northland had won it in the 68-year history of the event. It was also a massive part of my comeback after my shoulder injury earlier that year.

What would be your ultimate foursome?

Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros

How many hours do you practice/train per week?

When I’m at home for a training/practice week, I’d do 25 hours plus playing a couple rounds too. I believe balance is key to perform consistently overseas.

What is your favourite thing about your new MG ZS?

My favourite thing about the ZS would have to be that I can fit all my golf equipment for a day of training in the boot.
