Golfing success

Bellerive FCJ Catholic College pupil Hollie Muse has moved one step closer to achieving her dream of being a professional golfer by winning the Allianz German Boys and Girls Open, which was held at the St Leon-Rat Golf Club in Germany’s Rhine Valley.
Although Hollie has been part of the England U16 squad since 2012, she said the experience in Germany was like being part of a professional tour.
“It was amazing, just like a pro-tournament. German golf is much richer than the UK and the set-up was amazing.
“They had all sorts of events for us, like a big raffle where you could win iPads and Go-Pro cameras, and talks from some of the world’s top caddies.
“The whole thing was a great experience. It was just like being a professional golfer!”
Combining training and schoolwork has required a lot of hard work from Hollie and the help and support of her friends, family and teachers. Hollie takes school work away with her when she travels and uses the resource base to study whenever she needs to.
“It is hard to practise and get your school work done but I’ve tried really hard this year and my teachers have been great about giving me work.
