At Long Last

Posted: 3rd April 2010

Hi everyone, AT LAST...........IT ONLY TOOK ME 7 YEARS.............. I always thought my first win will be on South African soil, but it came in Spain....

Since we last talked a few things have changed.... I picked up my first European Tour win and I'm in the MASTERS. That is the best feeling one can have. I worked really hard the last three months to have a chance to get into the Masters and it paid off.

Right now we're still in Manchester but we're leaving on Sunday to travel to Augusta.

I must say, winning in Spain was my highlight as professional so far. All the SA caddies walking with me the last day, my wife and daughter being there and then the invite to... MORE »


From Hot to Cold

Hi everyone and greetings from Morocco where I play in the Trophee Hassan II this week.

My ten day break after Vodacom Championship was great. We went up to my wife's family farm up in Koegas in the Northern Cape.

Although it is very dry here at the moment it is very beautiful. I'm sitting next to a fire, busy on my laptop and having a nice  "braai" which is a barbeque if you didn't know that already! 

Dubai was so disappointing... I played really well but just struggled with my putting, which has also been the case for the last three months. 

My cousin, who used to be a golf pro, visited me last Monday and he had a look at my putting. He saw something within the first minute and told me immediately what... MORE »


New Beginnings

Posted: 27th January 2010

Hi there everyone and welcome to my new website which I hope you're going to enjoy having a look round - I know I'm definitely going to enjoy it.

I'm currently in Qatar where the wind is blowing us to pieces so I think it's going to be an interesting week on the course!

My christmas was quite an experience with my little girl being born two days after playing the South African Open. I was so nervous for my wife's part of the role that I needed to sit down at one stage of the birth, but I managed to regain my composure and everything went great and I can just thank the Lord for that. 

Everyone this week keeps on asking... MORE »
