Daniel Ramírez is honest about the day he found out. “I felt a little scared, because I didn't expect it,” he says. “I talked to my friends, at my school, with my classmates. But at the same time, I felt proud — proud of what I had achieved. It was a great opportunity, but it was a big change in my life too.”
That mix of humility and clear-eyed ambition runs through everything Daniel says. Golf, for him, is both refuge and discipline. “It's a sport that relaxes me and de-stresses me,” he explains, “and a sport that needs discipline and concentration. My goal in this sport is to earn a better future.”
“I'll dream big: winning the Masters at Augusta wouldn't be bad.”
Even his dreams come with a dose of realism — and a flash of wit. “Well, if we're talking about dreams, I'll dream big: winning the Masters at Augusta wouldn't be bad. But dreams rarely come true on their own. So I'll dream of reaching a plus handicap and winning some European competitions — that wouldn't be bad either.”
With a full scholarship to Sotogrande International School and a personalised golf development programme at La Reserva Club, Daniel now has what talent alone could never guarantee: time, training and the room to grow.
And to the people who made it possible, he offers something better than thanks — a promise. “It's a great opportunity. It's going to change my life. I can say one thing: if you give me some time, I will make sure that your choice is not in vain.”
