Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Well, as many of you already know, the past two weeks have been of great importance for my home country (Venezuela) when it comes to Golf. As a passionate golfer, these few weeks have been among the most important and thrilling of my golfing career, since for the first in the Venezuelan history a local won a PGA tour open, more specifically the “Bob Hope Classic.” In addition, this rookie tied 3rd place in the world famous “Farmers Insurance Open,” where he played against the worlds’ top players. These include Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods. This is, without a doubt, an enormous achievement for this young golfer.
The accomplisher of this incredible goal is the humble Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas. Born and raised poor in an eastern Venezuelan city named Maturin, this individual showed great interest in Golf from a young age. His father, being a caddy, taught him how to swing a golf club with nothing more than a broom and a rock. Yet, despite the odds, Vegas showed great talent in this game and soon he was playing daily in the 9 hole golf course in the outskirts of Maturin. Soon, he started playing and winning tournaments, demonstrating to others his great talent. Finally, after training constantly with famous Venezuelan instructors, this talented golfer won a scholarship to study in the University of Texas. Here, he trained harder, until he won his first PGA tour championship last week.
The story of Jhonattan Vegas is truly inspiring, since he rose from being a humble child living in humbly in the Venezuelan country side, to a world class golfer, who won 1, 294,591 dollars in just two weeks. In addition, he has become living history by being the first Venezuelan golfer to ever win on the PGA tour, and that is something no amount of money can buy. He has proven that with practice, dedication and perseverance, you can achieve any goal in life.
Congratulations to Jhonattan Vegas on that incredible achievement!
Thank you for tuning in on N.A.B.B, I’ll keep in touch!
