The Midleton student who taught Neymar how to play golf for Olympic ad

A year in an east Cork boarding school. And a golf lesson with Barcelona’s Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr.

Agueda Cortilla Mas, who plays golf off a 0.5 handicap, is the link between these two vastly different experiences.

The Spaniard spent the 2013-14 school year in Midleton College and would go on to star alongside Brazil’s danger man in Panasonic’s latest ad ahead of Rio 2016.
