TYLER  APIPHU  WATCHALAPONG

Best Friends Since 2015 - Jonathan Mikanda & Tyler Watchalapong

The boys were just 8 years old when they got to know each other at St. Stephen's International School, where they bonded at the driving range located 3 blocks away from school.   Tyler was there to learn how to golf with my ex pro golf instructor. Jonathan was there to learn how to golf with his uncle who had turned pro as well. Both boys will constantly find ways to chitchat with each other when they wanted to slack and got bored of hitting golf balls.

In 2015, Tyler made his decision to concentrate on competitive swimming. A year later Jonathan made his decision to go pro in golfing.  In 2017, Jonathan departed from SAS to focus more on golfing and continue his education via homeschool. Tyler left for the US in 2018. Both boys kept in touch over social networking yeah and application called LINE.  Because they did friendship that they had established since eight years old knows no boundaries.

The boys had a chance to meet up again in 2019 with Jonathan came to participate in the World Stars Junior Golf Championship held in Las Vegas at the Paiute golf course. It was the best time ever for both of them. Not only did Tyler get to accompany and watch his friend's professional golfing in-action, but both boys also got the chance to go out and spend the day just golfing with each other along with grandpa.
