“I’m really excited to play so well in the world champs,” said Robby. Coach Terry Young says it is a great achievement with more than 90 competitors from around the world in the event. He has coached Robby since he was three-years-old and says the long term commitment is to put him on the PGA tour. “He has finished fourth in the U.S Kids Golf and this was backed up with second in the Australian Kids Championships. He now has the IMG world championships under his belt which is where Tiger Woods burst into prominence from. “The other competitors compete in these tournaments often and are the sons of professionals and tour players. They live in gated communities on the side of golf courses and play every day and night after school. They work with top coaches and a little kid from the Mangawhai Heads club has beaten all the Americans.” Terry says he practises and works hard. “Success doesn’t just come about by some fluke event. I believe you have to play with the best early. Don’t wait until you are older, don’t go from a small pond to a big pond.” It is a big commitment for his parents Troy and Heather. Robby is not sponsored yet, but Terry said he will look into that. “I see Robby as one of the best young golfers in the world and as a dad it’s

important to get him playing against the best,” said Troy. “Later in life there is enough competition in New Zealand but up until the age of 12 there isn’t much for young gliders. Naturally all the credit
goes to Terry who has put in countless hours and Heather for making sure the school work is done and that at least one member of the family isn’t talking golf 24/7.”
