I have know Louis for a long time, I have seen him mature as a golfer to the extent that he now carries the potential not only to be good but very good. With his supportive parents we have discussed a five year strategy to develop his game, which includes his physical, mental and philosophical approach to this sport. It doesn't surprise me that he is right on track. Well done young man.
