Congratulations
to Liam Debattista who has recently been offered a golf scholarship to Hutchinson
Community College in Kansas.
Since
arriving at the school in 2016 with a handicap of 7 (now 2.6), Liam, through
working with several of the coaches, has developed himself both in his golf and
as a committed, hardworking, reliable person.
Liam
has many achievements to his name not least being elected as School Captain, an
exemplary role which is being fulfilled with vigour. Liam has been Junior Captain for the past 2
years at his home club Castle Royle, he won the Junior Club Championship and
was awarded Golfer of the Year at Lambourne Golf Club.
Liam
said ‘this is life changing – for me, my family and everyone who has supported
me. I am so excited, very nervous, but
can’t wait to take the next step’.
American
universities offer a fantastic opportunity for young golfers looking to further
their golf career alongside continuation of their education, and the school now
has a regular flow of ex-students spread out across the continental United
States. In fact, Liam will join former student
Max Smith who is established at the same college in Kansas!
We
wish Liam all the best when he leaves us in June; for his future in the States and
in his ongoing career – we know he will make a success in all he does.
