Bem-vindo a um novo capítulo da nossa série de entrevistas no blog, “Golf Journeys”, em que mergulhamos nas histórias de golfistas apaixonados e nas suas aventuras nos greens. Através de uma cativante entrevista de 5 perguntas, queremos celebrar a alegria, o companheirismo e a inspiração que o golfe traz às nossas vidas.
In this new interview post, we are thrilled to introduce our second guest – the one and only Nicholaz Pagelz, a professional golfer who left a finance career to pursue his golf dream.
1- Hi Nicholaz, how were you first introduced to golf?
I was first introduced to golf by my then-best friend and schoolmate. At 9 years old, he and his parents took me with them to play at Rönnebäck Golf Club in the South of Sweden.
I just fell in love with the game from day one.
Then my mother enrolled me to take my license and we’ve played the whole summer for years!
2- Sabemos que os golfistas têm rituais e superstições próprios no campo. Tem alguma rotina curiosa antes do jogo ou um amuleto da sorte em que confie?
Nothing more than 3 tees and a ball marker in the right front pocket, a yardage book in the right back pocket, and a glove in the left back pocket.
3- Na Lambda Golf, celebramos o amor pelo golfe e a alegria que ele traz. Pode partilhar uma história comovente ou um momento divertido que lhe tenha acontecido no campo?
This summer, on the 10th par 4 at my home club, Ullna G&CC, I hit my approach long and left of the pin on an elevated green. Not surprised since I wasn’t playing that well during that round, but as I was walking slowly up the hill I saw my friends already on the green looking around after something and then just started to scream that my ball was in the hole.
They managed to get my reaction on film which was fun.
We have all played bad rounds and wanted to break every club over our knees but just like that, with some luck and the golf Gods on your side all that disappears and your heart just fills with such joy and love for this game!
4- Todos os golfistas têm um destino de golfe de “sonho”. Se pudesse jogar uma volta em qualquer parte do mundo, onde seria e porquê?
Oh, there are so many places I would like to go and play.
But in the Pebble Beach area, you have some of the best courses in the world.
I mean, a weekend in Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Cypress Point doesn’t sound too bad to me.
5- Que modelo de calçado Lambda Golf escolheria para essa experiência extraordinária?
I would definitely rock my white Roma Blue Patent.
Pergunta bónus: Se pudesse desenhar o seu par de sapatos de golfe de sonho, que características teria? Seja criativo e deixe a imaginação voar!
I would do a white Roma with cognac ostrich on the toe and heel.
Thank you Nicholaz!
