1. How long have you played golf?

I have been playing golf since I was eight years old.

2. Did anyone influence you to play the game?

My dad has always been a big fan of golf so he wanted to start me off somewhat young. He bought me my first set of clubs. My grandpa was also a big contributor in my fondness of the sport. He took me to the driving range many weekends.

3. Does your family play?

Most of my family does; my sister is the only one who hasn't golfed. As you know my dad loves the game, my mom also enjoys the game but is more of just a casual golfer. She only gets out ten or so times a year.

4. Do you have a lot of friends that play?

I don't have many close friends that play. I made a lot of friends while playing on the golf team in high school.

5. Have you traveled to different states to play on different courses?

I have traveled to many different states to play golf. Almost any where my family goes; we typically take our clubs with and try to play a round or two. I have seen many different courses in my short golf career. I hope to see a lot more.

6. How about vacations, have you ever went on a vacation just to play golf

Before golf season for high school every year, my mom, dad, and, I would travel somewhere south where there wasn't snow on the ground and it was warm enough to play. Golf courses around Minnesota don't open till late spring so it wasn't possible to really work on my game. We also took a "golf" trip to Hawaii. (We did a little more than golf lol)

7. Did you grow up around golf (ex. Tiger Woods?!)

I kind of grew up around golf. Tiger didn't come on the scene until I was about 12. But he has been one of my idols ever since. I grew up watching Tom Lehman. He grew up in Alexandria, MN where my family and I have a cabin. He is a very nice guy. He isn't cocky about his game at all.

8. What do you need to bring/wear when playing golf?

Your attire depends on how nice of a course you are playing. At a lower end course, you can wear jeans, shorts, and dress pants with any type of shirt. The pro's have to wear nice dress pants with a polo shirt of a nice dress shirt. Golf shoes are also required. You also need to bring your clubs with you.
