BEST PART ABOUT GOLF?

The social aspect and of course winning (although it could happen more often).

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE GOLF MEMORY?

Too many, including having the opportunity to play Pro AMs with some of the best players on the DP World Tour. I am a sucker for late rounds of golf as the sun starts to set behind the pine trees in the Algarve.

WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A GOLFER?

Probably a mix of Tiger Woods and EA Sports

HOW DID YOU DISCOVER THE GOLF GAMEBOOK APP?

Can’t remember, probably through a friend.

WHY DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN THE #GGB SQUAD?

I know it’s the place to be…

BEST PART ABOUT THE #GGB APP?

It creates a greater sense of competition to see the leaderboard all the time, no matter how many people are playing. I see myself as a bad winner but a good loser, i.e. the worst type of golfer.

FAVORITE GAME FORMAT?

All formats within a Ryder Cup-style game (Reds vs Blues). Match play is by far the most fun and also the most fair. Ideally, it should be played without hcp (even if it would mean losing my regular shots against a better player). In match play, anything can happen and playing for a team adds a form of pressure that neither you nor your opponent experience in a regular stableford game.

IF YOU’RE NOT GOLFING, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

Hanging out with my amazing family, playing padel or sitting in the car on the way to a meeting somewhere in Sweden.

Basically, it's only Tiger Woods that I would really like to have the privilege of playing with. Then I'll add two players who I think would make the round a more socially enjoyable event and that's really why I play golf. So why not add Jiménez and Fleetwood.
