the field wasnt as big and the competition wasnt as strong as at the world firefighters games introduced to the game through his father when he was 11 years old while growing up in uxbridge gates devel oped a love for the game which remains as strong now as it did in his youth golf is a game where youre never satisfied you feel you can always improve and be better thats the side of the game that i enjoy in explaining the success gates says it all boils down to practice i like to practice and strive to be bet ter its easy to get turned around when you have a couple of bad shots but when you practise and play it helps you stay focused he suggested when gates isnt playing the game he assists others in fighting their slices and hooks as a golf instructor at angus glen golf club in
