My Supporters
Getting to where I am today would not have been possible without the incredible people who have believed in me, supported me, and encouraged me throughout my journey. Through the great success of my two crowdfunding projects on the I Believe in You platform, nearly 100 people stepped forward to support my dream and become part of my journey.
I am incredibly grateful to have so many people behind me, cheering me on every step of the way. Your support means so much more than just financial help—it gives me confidence, motivation, and the belief that I am not pursuing this dream alone.

I was introduced to the Maréchaux community in 2024 through Mario Zurfluh, at the Maréchaux tournament in Engelberg. After meeting Ernst Maréchaux, he introduced me to the whole community, and through that I was able to build many new friendships. With the help of Mario, Ernst, and so many supporters from the community, I was able to finish financing IJGA, along with some of my other expenses for the sport. I'm incredibly grateful for all the support from Maréchaux.
I grew up playing golf at the Company Lodge in Seedorf, which is also where I met my now friend and mentor, David Crawley. He introduced me to Bobby Arnold, part owner of Arnold & Co. AG, which also owns the Company Lodge. Through Bobby's generous support, I was able to attend the IJGA Academy in the first place. I'm very grateful for the support I've received from Arnold and the Company Lodge.
With almost 100 individual supporters across both of my "I Believe in You" crowdfunding projects, I was able to finance a huge part of the IJGA Academy. Having so many people behind me motivates me to work as hard as I possibly can.
When I was 10 years old, I played my first SwissGolf junior tournament, and I kept playing them from there. In 2020, I was accepted into the Central Team Squad, where I met great coaches and players. That environment gave me the guidance and competitiveness I needed to succeed at the next level. In 2023, I was selected for the Swiss National Team, which opened the door to being selected for major international tournaments.
The support I've received from SwissGolf over the years can't be taken for granted, and I'm very grateful for all the passionate coaches I've been able to work with because of them.
My golfing journey started on the unique 9-hole golf course in Realp. It's my home course and will always be my deepest root in the game, with all my earliest memories of golf tied to it. Through the efforts of Dani Speer, I was invited to play at the prestigious Andermatt Golf Course and become the young face of the course. Having playing rights there, and always being able to practice and use their facilities, has been very important for my career — I always love practicing and playing in Andermatt. I'm very grateful for all the support I've received from both golf clubs.
