Learning Golf

Leo’s dad, Lester, was the one who introduced him to golf. He took Leo to the range and let him hit some balls. Leo quickly fell in love with the sport and hasn’t looked back since.

Why Golf?

Lester used to play soccer, but he stopped loving it. When Leo was old enough, Lester decided to take him to the range and see if he liked golf. It turns out Leo was pretty good at it.

Success

At the age of four, Leo was already playing nine holes. By the time he was five, he had a free membership and was already cutting some golf. At six years old, he started competing in tournaments. His first competition was a world championship qualifier, where he placed third.

In 2014, Leo and Lester went to San Diego for the IMG Junior Worlds. It was a great experience for them both. That’s when Lester knew Leo was ready for bigger competitions.

Trick Shots

If you go to Leo’s Instagram page, you’ll see a lot of great golf content, specifically trick shots. Leo and Lester come up with the ideas together, or they get inspiration from other trick shots they see on social media. One trick shot that Leo is particularly good at is the flop shot. He learned it quickly by watching film.
