“Watching my father in action, I became interested in the game. I purchased a set of clubs and started playing golf in NSRCC’s Junior Golf Development Programme (JGDP),” said Jayden.

Benefitting from the Junior Golf Development Programme

Since enrolling in JGDP, Jayden has gleaned invaluable insights on leveraging techniques to amplify his golf proficiency. The JGDP transformed his passion into purpose.

"JGDP has helped me in several ways, including improving my short game, approaching shots, and more. The coaches taught us the techniques to play at different areas of the course and when to use certain techniques," shared Jayden.

Playing golf requires him to juggle his time effectively between school commitments and his golf practices. Yet, he does not regret the time expended playing and practicing golf. His constant practice on the green bore fruit when he clinched the third place at his school’s golf tournament.

"That was my proudest achievement so far!" quipped Jayden.

Putting His Golfing Skills to the Test

He is enthused about testing his mettle to see how far his swing can take him, benchmarking his progress against the peers in his group.

"I'm excited about meeting others of my age group people and competing against them to see who comes out on top!” Jayden quipped.

With confidence in his stride, and eyes set on the Junior Inter-Club League, Jayden shares with quiet determination, “My goal is to win the Junior Inter-Club League (JICL) this year."

With each swing, Jayden goes a step closer to his dream – driven by his passion for the game, and his heart set on the horizon.
