LUCKY CHARM
I have a little bear on my golf bag. He’s got a clover leaf and his name is Curtis.

OTHER HOBBIES
Going to the gym, love designing stuff (pretty much everything), love shopping and getting dolled up, meeting up with friends, travelling, playing football, just generally chilling out with family and friends.

AMBITIONS
I want to win a couple of competitions before I decide to turn professional. That’s my goal for 2008. You need that before you turn pro, to know that you can do it.
