Golf pro goes solo at TG Aviation

PROFESSIONAL golfer, Andrew Brooks, went solo at the start of May, under the watchful eye of instructor, Andy Hopper.

Andrew told LOOP, "The similarities between golf and flying are quite close; you need coordination, a sense of balance, good management and the ability to control those nerves!"

After sporadic flying over the past 12 years, Andrew is set on getting his PPL soon. "It's back to the drawing board now. More solos, cross countries and a Met exam to sit."
