Although many of my early golf experiences were formed on our family holidays in Portugal I had never played a competition outside of Ireland. As part of my ambition to improve my game I decided to play the Faldo in La Sella Spain.
We had a great time staying in the Marriott in very hot sunny weather. Dad and I played a practice round and found the course to be incredibly challenging. Especially the front 9 !!
The competition ran over three days, and each day I got to meet new people and play in different groups. It was a real thrill being in the final group on the last day, and I was delighted to finish in second place winning the silver medal and also the IMG Academy World Championship. Florida here I come !
