The CASPER HOLST-CHRISTENSEN story

Tough Love and Second Chances - EDGA

Casper Holst-Christensen, hailing from Denmark, attributes his deep-rooted passion for golf to his father, Jon. “My love of golf stems from my Dad,” Casper reflects fondly. “I think he actually bought me and my brother clubs back when we were four or five years old.”

Living with ASD, or to give its full name, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Casper experiences the world uniquely. “For me, I’m very impaired in my hearing, so I don’t really have any sense of filter. I hear every single thing going on around me all the time.”

Casper has trained himself over the years to maintain balance in golf and life. “That’s why I love golf nowadays. It’s the constant mental battle on the course every time I play. It doesn’t matter if I play Sunday rounds with my Dad or in big tournaments, it’s the same feeling, it’s the same battle.”
