Aspirations at the Academy - Massimo

Massimo is a student at the Deaf Academy. He's a golfer too. Could he turn professional?

My name's Massimo, I'm 21.
Tell me about your connection to the Academy.
It's good. I really like it.
Why is that? It's so big. My previous school was really small, so this one's so much bigger. It's so big and there's so many different classes. Whereas my old school was such a small school, there was kind of less choices.
How have you adjusted to that?
It's been good. I'm enjoying the space.
What might you like to do in the future, do you think?
I love to play golf.
Could you see yourself being a professional golfer? Yes, yeah definitely. Yeah, I mean I've played all my life, as often as I can. Started when I was 10, and I've just been playing ever since.
Tell me about the courses you play and the shots that you make.
I got a hole in one a while ago, was quite a while ago.
Who is your favourite player? Me.
If you were one of the world's leading golfers, where would you most like to play?
Here in Exmouth. You sure? Yeah, but ideally I'd love to play every course all over the world.
I think the Ryder Cup team need to come to Exmouth right now and find you, don't they?
Yes.
