He’ s been playing golf since he was a toddler.
Michael was given a pair of plastic golf clubs when he was two and has been swinging ever since. The 14-year-old now competes in national and international competitions, including this year’ s U. S. Kids Golf World Championship and PGA Junior Championship.
Golf is a family affair.
Michael’ s parents and two sisters all enjoy the sport and regularly hit the course together.
