Student Gives Up Golf for Business
Ceyhan Mihcioglu, 19, has a golf handicap of five but says he will now play the sport for fun and make his living through the internet.
The Newcastle College student, who has entered the If We Can You Can Challenge, has already secured partial funding for the project through the Government’s Business Link and says his website – tailored specially for students – will be everything his target audience will want.
Ceyhan, who lives with his parents in Darras Hall, Ponteland, said: “I used to want to play golf professionally but now I think I will just do that for fun.
“The idea is to create a website aimed at students. It will give them information on specific subjects they are interested in with contributions from other students and experts.
“It will be free to sign up and I’m hoping businesses across the country will sponsor it so their products will be on the site.
“Everyone I’ve spoken to about it is excited by it. And my friends are saying ‘don’t forget me when it does really well’. I’m trying not to get too excited about it, though.”
Former Ponteland High School pupil Ceyhan, who has autobiographies by Duncan Bannatyne and Sir Richard Branson on his recently-read pile, said he would like to make enough money to be comfortable.
