the coach here. I visited in the winter before starting here and I really

Aryamon Mohan
Aryamon defines excellence because he’s a very
coachable student that listens and grew a lot over
the semester by experiencing our full-time program.
He started in our summer camp and he couldn’t
break 80. His scoring average this semester is 76.
From: Zambia
Grade: 10th
Started at BGGA: In August after a few weeks of summer camp.
Why did you choose BGGA: I came here for summer camp
and I wanted to get a feel for how to improve my game. I come
from Zambia and golf isn’t very good there. I wanted to come
somewhere to learn golf, improve my golf and hopefully make a
career out of it. When I came here in the summer I really enjoyed
it, so I thought why not come back.
Best part of your game: Mental Game. It’s improved a lot since I’ve
been here. When I came here I had a weak mental game. I wasn’t
able to recover from a bad shot during a round. Now after working
with Paul my mental game is the strongest part of my game.
Why do you play golf: I love meeting new people and playing with
new friends. I love that it has brought me to my dream country.
Goals for the future: I’d like to play college golf and maybe turn
professional golf. If that doesn’t work I’ll probably be a lawyer.
Win one tournament: The Masters
Favorite Golfer: Rickie Fowler
Niels
Schmidlin
Niels this semester has had two
opportunities where he’s had a
chance to win tournaments but he
failed to do so. He’s learning from
it and the next time he gets in
that situation he has that memory
and experience to recall from and
he can get over the line next time.
He’s been knocking on the door
all semester in tournaments and
getting himself in position where
he’s in the lead. He’s doing better
at implementing strategies in
training.
From: Switzerland
Grade: 10th
Started at BGGA: In second year
Why did you choose BGGA: In
Switzerland you can’t play golf
all the time. It’s only about six
months a year and Florida is
perfect.
Best part of your game: Driving
Why do you play golf: It’s the
best sport. You get to travel, play
different courses, you don’t get
hurt and it’s sunny all the time.
Goals for the future: I want to
play on the European Tour and
then the PGA Tour.
Win one tournament: The Masters
Favorite Golfer: Peter Hanson
