|McDowell's instant success|
Despite now being on the professional circuit Graeme is still happy to take on board any tips and advice that may come his way.
He does, however, believe that working hard on his game is as important as anything else.
"Everyone has tips and advice but no matter what sport you play there is no substitute for hard work and you only get out what you put in," he said.
"It is all about working harder than the next person and finding out what works for you with regards to practice and training.
"Just hang in there in school and give yourself as many options as possible rather than dropping out of school and going after sport and have it not work out.
"Keep all options open, work hard and things will work out."
