Bio: Michael has the face of an angel and flaxen blond hair of a Disney Princess. So to see him swing for the first time comes as an assault on the senses. A swashbuckling and ferocious swing with nothing ‘left in the locker’, Michael approaches the game with a fearless intensity reminiscent of a latter day Seve Ballesteros and often finds himself on a similar amount of fairways.

With endless hours of visiting well-known dogging spots on Epsom Downs to hone a deft short game, if Michael can maintain attain a bit more accuracy off the tee he will be there or thereabouts again in 2015.

There are weaknesses however – his mental state can occasionally be affected when some of his more ‘bombastic’ play threatens the well-being of his fellow competitors, and despite being the only player on the MADJIC tour with an equipment sponsor (the little known Chinese manufacturer ‘Tayror Made’), he will need to keep a close eye on the structural integrity of said clubs if he is to add to his 4 tour haul.
