6 years ago, when he was only 2 years old, future Tiger Woods, Miguel Gonzalez, started his golf career at Club Campestre in Medellín.

Gonzalez, a 7 years old 3rd grader at The Columbus School, has a special talent playing golf. He started playing at the age 2 at Club Campestre in Medellín and 6 later has developed in not only a talented golfer, but an incredible human being, according to his trainer Rogelio Gonzalez.  

“I want to tell you that he is a wonderful child, very charismatic, kind with others, very respectful, and very skilled playing golf,” Rogelio Gonzalez said.

Miguel has competed in many tournaments at national and international level including the Seaview Open at Galloway, New Jersey, and two other  international tournaments in the United States. 

Miguel wants to continue to progress and eventually establish a successful golf career. His goal is to become a professional golfer in the future, and according to his trainer, he has the talent to do it.

“He is a child with many virtues that few children in the club have. As I say, it is better to stop than push and this child meets all these conditions to become professional,” Rogelio Gonzalez said. 

What Miguel most likes about playing golf is the environment. Although Miguel loves stepping onto a golf course, he feels anxious before starting any tournament. He sometimes he feels nervous, worries about making a bad shot and sometimes Miguel feels a lot of pressure, but he says he has good faith in his game.

“I like the atmosphere a lot and I think it’s a good sport to play but I feel nervous and I feel a lot of pressure, although I always have good faith,” stated Miguel Gonzalez.

This future professional player is not only a talented golfer, he is also dedicated to academics. For Miguel, school comes before golf and if he misses class he is very efficient catching up. Sometimes he even does his homework while waiting for a tournament to start.

“Miguel has always a great smile and a positive attitude. He is a good student and if he misses school to play in a golf tournament he is diligent in making up his work,” Jesse Howe, Miguel’s 3rd grade teacher, said.
