Coach's Comments: Daniel is solid in all areas of the game. His swing reminds me of former Bulldog All-American Kevin Sutherland. Like Kevin, Daniel takes the club back slowly and then accelerates beautifully through the ball. In the brief time he has been here, he has shown himself to be a very positive and confident young man. Daniel is a guy who was recommended by Bhavik Patel. That is high praise coming from Bhavik.
