Bostalsee
Always there.
Dad coached the kids, and Nikita was always there. Same at home — he'd grab his dad's clubs and get going in the garden.
In the beginners' group it was more about playing than about golf.

#02 · Statement · Why I playIn his own words
His game
— his choice.
Nikita Schummer grew up on the golf course. His dad was junior coordinator and a Level C coach at GC Bostalsee and simply took him along everywhere — to training, tournaments and kids' camps.
Nikita was always in the middle of it all. Among the older kids he hit balls with his dad's clubs and used the bunker for long jump. No training, no pressure — just being a kid on the golf course.

At five he started in the beginners' group, but soon stopped again. Golf wasn't his thing back then. He tried lots of things: swimming, fencing, riding, football, gymnastics, guitar and piano. Only the piano stuck.
At eight he eased back into kids' training. He liked it. That was it.
Then came 2024. Something clicked. All on his own Nikita developed a huge love of golf — and that surprised us too.
We never made golf a topic. When he wanted to play, he played. When he didn't, he didn't. But suddenly he hardly wanted to leave the course. He'd be there every day if he could. And if he could live on the golf course, he'd say yes on the spot.
He plays his own game. Focused, with real joy and entirely self-driven. In just over a year his handicap dropped from 54 to under 15. At nine he was selected for the regional squad of the Rhineland-Palatinate/Saarland golf federation.
He sets his own goals: turning pro, European Tour, PGA Tour — and the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane.
I want more kids to see how much fun golf is.
And join in.
As parents, we're glad to walk this road with Nikita. What matters most to him is clearing up the clichés: that golf is boring, expensive, only for old guys and not a real sport.
He wants other kids to simply give it a try. And we'd be glad if we could help more families discover golf for themselves.

Leipzig · Single figures
Single figures — and twice in the pond.
8.8
Junior Golf Tour in Leipzig, three rounds: 85, 80, 82. First place in U12. The handicap into single figures for the first time: 8.8.
Exactly two years earlier: the first qualifying competition and the first handicap, 54. From 54 to single figures in two years.
Then the ducking. Tradition demands it: whoever goes single-figure goes in the pond. Nikita went in twice. Once at the summer camp at Weiherhof, with his golfing friends. And once at Bostalsee, his second club and the family's, where it all started when he was small.
