Nick has had a great year. He won at Corde Valle in the fall then at Hawaii and in Oregon.

His short game has been awesome. Nick has the ability with his wedges to hit shots that most players just cant hit. He is able to control his spin ans trajectory very well which allows him to get his wedge shots and iron shots close to any pin regardless of wind.

Nicks putting has improved drastically in a years time. As his putting continues to improve he will shoot even lower scores and win more events.

Nick loves to have a good time. He is our team captain this year and the teams personality truly reflects his.

Nick is the guy that when the round is over and we are driving back to the hotel he is getting everyone pumped up for the Monopoly game that will take place in his room. He is a fierce competitor and a great team leader.
