info_outline"I figure everything out in practice so you know exactly what you're doing every single hole. You're almost just on auto-pilot, you're just executing it. I know exactly what club I'm going to hit on every hole, I know exactly what direction the wind is going to be before I even wake up." - Peter Tarver-Jones
Peter Tarver-Jones first developed his passion for golf at the relatively tender age of 12. As a junior, Pete showed a great aptitude for the game, culminating in a Sussex under-18s title at the age of 17. Following this success, he opted to move to the United States to play college golf at Belmont College. These years proved vital in Pete's development as a golfer, and he turned to the professional sphere of golf soon after his return home to the United Kingdom.
After missing his first three cuts as a professional on the Euro Pro Tour, Pete worked his way into an outstanding season which saw him finish second in the order of merit and advance to the Challenge Tour. Pete went onto to win the Euro Pro Tour Championships in 2016 and subsequently move back up to the Challenge Tour, where he is currently playing.
In this episode, Peter discusses what life was like playing collegiate golf in America and how it shaped him as a golfer. He also talks us through what life is like having turned pro, some of his pre-game rituals, and provides a putting action challenge which he uses to improve his game.
