“Being a foreigner in another country is not easy because of cultural differences. I am happy to have met some good friends on and off the golf course. “What I have learnt is to treat everyone equally no matter what we have done on earth, so no one person is better than the other,” said Lawrence. He further said the Captain Golf Tournament was one of the best birthday gifts.
