NATHAN KIMSEY TURNS PRO AFTER IMPRESSIVE AMATEUR CAREER

NEWS RELEASE

 English golfer Nathan Kimsey has announced he has signed a long term, exclusive representation contract with 4SPORTS and ENTERTAINMENT, the leading Swiss sports management agency.

Nathan's decision to turn professional follows an impressive amateur career highlighted by his selection for the GB and I Team for the 2013 Walker Cup. 

His final season as an amateur saw him produce a tie for 3rd place at the Brabazon Trophy and 2nd at the St Andrew's Links Trophy. He also enjoyed numerous top 10 finishes including the Scottish Stroke Play Championship and Lytham Trophy to name but a few.

In 2011 he won the prestigious McEvoy Trophy which resulted in his selection into the European boys' team to represent his country in the Czech Republic, and into the GB and I team for the Jacques Leglise tournament against the Continent of Europe. Twelves months later he made his idebut in the men's home internationals and became the first England player in 15 years to win all six matches, following which he went on to be a semi finalist in the English Amateur Championship. 

Kimsey will now move into the professional ranks and begin the early part of the 2014 season on the (EPD) Pro Golf Tour. On signing with 4Sports, Nathan commented, 'I am very excited to begin this next phase of my golf career. I look forward to working with the 4Sports team and feel confident they can give me the support and advice to progress in the professional game'.
