“Charlie is a very, very capable golfer,” Begay said“I think that next step for him is just going to be playing more events on a national level and just learning how to score on a regular basis.”. According to Begay’s statements, he expected Charlie to look like a mature golfer soon. And as he said, the junior golfer was rapidly growing into an adult as he plays more tournaments with his father fully supporting him.
