WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A GOLFER?

Friends + Josh Broadaway. I used to play Finnish baseball with a crosshanded grip and didn’t think it was possible in golf. Then I saw Josh Broadaway swinging crosshanded on YouTube and thought that I could do it as well and decided to start. I changed my grip though after the very first range session. I only put crosshanded.

FAVORITE GAME FORMAT?

Erado.

IF YOU’RE NOT GOLFING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I’m at the Waldstadion, supporting Eintracht Frankfurt.

HOW DID YOU DISCOVER THE GOLF GAMEBOOK APP?

Did online research and asked friends what’s the best app for golf.

FAVORITE PART ABOUT THE APP?

Advanced statistics and seeing friends’ scorecards.

WHY DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN THE #GGB SQUAD?

I want to promote a great Finnish golf app and speed up the digitalization (also) of golf here in Germany.
