Camiko Smith Named Golfer Of The Week
Bermudian golfer Camiko Smith has been named the Golfer of the Week by African American Golfer’s Digest.
Mr. Smith recently ranked a very close second place at the Grey Goose Par 3 Championship in March 2014, losing out by a single shot to Mark Mouland.
According to the online article, “Camiko M. Smith was born and raised on the beautiful island of Bermuda where he enjoyed eating his mom’s homemade banana pancakes and codfish with potatoes. He enjoys serving as a mentor to youngsters and working for the betterment of his community. When time permits, he makes it a point to volunteer with Bermuda Junior Golf.”
“I never really belonged to any particular golf course,” Camiko says, “I was fortunate enough to grow up next to Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda where I spent the majority of my time. So, I guess I would claim Port Royal as my home grounds.” Port Royal is a must-play destination with stunning ocean views, breathtaking Bermuda landscapes and some of the greatest holes in golf. It’s no wonder that Camiko has fond memories of this place and, is still vividly inspired by them.”
“Port Royal is ranked among the world’s best public golf courses by Golf Digest and named Bermuda’s finest course by the New York Times, Camiko gained his game confidence playing the Port Royal that features 18 championship holes over 6,842 manicured yards, the longest and most picturesque course in all of Bermuda.
“But, unfortunately, Camiko hasn’t won any tournaments—well, not yet. But he recently played in a few events, starting with the 2013 U.S. Open qualifier, where he missed the cut by only a few shots. But there is a rainbow in the sky for this handsome gentleman, as Camiko most recently qualified for 2014 US Open sectionals.”
