\n Rory\u2019s golfing story started when he joined Trefloyne Junior Golf Academy in 2023, at the age of three.\n<\/p>\n
\n Rory\u2019s enthusiasm, commitment and dedication impressed Trefloyne\u2019s head golf professional, PGA Fellow Matthew Rees, so much that he made an exception and lowered his minimum age significantly.\n<\/p>\n
\n Coaching sessions on the driving range led to three-hole competitions in Trefloyne\u2019s Junior Sunday Club. From there he quickly progressed to five-hole competitions and then the full nine hole medals, where he achieved his first handicap of 49.3, at the age of five.\n<\/p>\n
