ABOUT JOSHUA

With most of the 2022 season complete, I have 10 top ten finishes in nineteen events, including qualifying for the US Junior Amateur in Bandon OR, finishing first in my regional junior championships, and finishing top 20 in the Canadian Junior Boy’s championships. A full 2022 tournament schedule along with results to date can be viewed on the Results page.

Since August 2019 I have worked with coach Brett Saunders at Morgan Creek Golf Course (2020 Olympics, Canada Women’s Golf.) I receive bi-weekly coaching with Alex Hodgins (2020 Olympics, Canada Women’s Soccer; 2021 Vancouver Canucks & Vancouver Whitecaps) on mental performance and preparation. To round out my training, I work with strength and conditioning coach Nick Mueller, Kinesiologist, TPI Level 3 twice a week.

As a current grade eleven student, I want to improve my game with a goal of securing a spot on a College Golf Team, where I intend to study Business. During my grade nine and ten years I completed a hybrid of online and in person learning, and I am currently over a semester ahead in my studies, permitting me to spend more time during my junior and senior years preparing for and competing in my sport. My current GPA is 4.0.

I am a cancer survivor, having been diagnosed with a Wilms tumor before my first birthday. I spent the first several years of my life undergoing various treatments and surgeries. This experience has made me both resilient and compassionate. For two of the three years immediately prior to COVID, I canvassed for the Canadian Cancer Society and I also volunteered at the WICC-BC annual golf tournament, raising money for cancer care and prevention.
