Sam, 18, is working with his sponsor KPMG Channel Islands, to host the masterclass for eight juniors from St Clements Golf Club on Wednesday 28^th October.

‘We are delighted that Sam has managed to find time in his busy training schedule to help these youngsters with their golfing skills. Sam is a fantastic example of how hard work and dedication is important in achieving your goals and we are sure he will be inspirational to the group, said Helen Hart , Business Development Manager, for  KPMG in the Channel Islands.

‘It is a pleasure for KPMG Channel Islands to be Sam’s sponsor as we recognise his potential and have every confidence that he will soon be competing at a global level which will be an amazing achievement and great news for Jersey.’
