One of Bermuda’s most exciting, young professional golfers will not be showcasing his talents at next month’s Gosling’s Invitational.

Terence Daniels has ruled himself out of the 72-hole tournament through work commitments in Arizona where he is presently based.

Daniels underlined his potential at the event in 2010 when he placed third overall while playing as an amateur.

“The Gosling’s is always a fun event to play in and I usually play well,” he said.

Since its inception the tournament has been played at Belmont Hills Golf Club.

However, organisers announced last month that this year’s event will be played over two courses, with the opening two rounds to be played at the par-70 Belmont Hills layout and remaining 36 holes at the slightly longer par-71 Port Royal Golf Course.

The tournament runs from November 28 to December 1.

“I am not surprised they have moved two rounds to Port Royal as the tournament has grown each year,” Daniels said. “Belmont is a great test of golf, but I know a lot of players like to play a more traditional course set-up like Port Royal.

“It’s great that the tournament can showcase another course on the island, especially for the overseas players.

“I think it is a great addition to the event and will attract even more players.”

Daniels achieved a maiden victory as a professional playing on the Dream Chaser Tour in Arizona last year.

However, he has been unable to compete this year through work commitments after committing to an exciting new career opportunity which also ruled him out of next month’s Gosling’s Invitational.

“I haven’t played any competitive tournaments this year as I’ve started a career with a company called Trackman, which is a golf radar company that analyses golf ball and club data,” Daniels said. “The company is still very young but is growing fast and I joined at the right time. I see myself being with the company long-term.”

Daniels is looking forward to competing in tournaments again when he starts the PGA Apprentice Programme early next year.

“In January I will become a PGA of America apprentice which will allow me to compete in local PGA sanctioned events against other local PGA members,” he said. “The PGA Apprentice Programme allows people working full-time in the golf industry to become Class A PGA professionals.

“It usually takes a few years to complete the programme. But while completing it you can compete and have perks that wouldn’t be available otherwise.”
