20.  When and why did you start playing golf? I started to play golf when I was 7 years old. I played squash and volleyball beforehand, but one day at my club, I tried it. In the beginning, my parents told me that golf was usually played by an older generation, so they did not like very much that I would play. But I liked so much that I decided to continue by myself. And then, contrarily from what he first thought, my father supported me.
