@jamierkennedy Jamie, you’ll absolutely love those. Do send me a DM if you’re in need of any tips, both golfwise and Amsterdamwise

Perhaps it's the camera angles, but seems like Joost Luiten has made some changes to his swing recently. Lower hands at the top and less laid off (maybe even a bit across the line?). Photo is from his website https://t.co/kO6tSo6qVZ - always interesting to read Luiten's updates.

Every once in a while I re-watch @cookiejargolf’s excellent Netherlands tour series. It’s so good. Having played Kennemer and Haagsche many times, those are my favourite episodes, but the others are great as well. Kennemer one linked below!

@Th0masAVN @DPWorldTour Oops…

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

Luiten so far playing excellent in the 3rd round of the #HIO24 @DPWorldTour. Seems very much at ease and putter looks great. T3 now. Let’s see if he can make some birdies down the stretch to get himself in the final group tomorrow.

Huizing playing great as well! He’s T9.

An eagle, @joostluiten style! 🔥

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

Joooooost!!!

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

Find this an interesting combination of Luiten's 2024 ARG stats on the @DPWorldTour site. Scrambling numbers are great but SG ARG is average (which btw is huge progress for Luiten). Is the explanation that most of Luiten's ARG play is very solid but if he misses, it's a big miss?

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

Solid week in the end for Joost Luiten and Darius van Driel at the #PorscheSingaporeClassic @DPWorldTour. Both with some excellent back 9 play today and both will be heading to India feeling very confident (perhaps esp. Luiten, as he was firmly in contention last year in India).

@AydanVerdonk Fantastisch Aydan! Gefeliciteerd

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

Guess it's been a while since we've had two Dutchmen in the featured groups of a @DPWorldTour event! Should be fun to watch.

#PorscheSingaporeClassic

[Pro Golf Tour @ProGolfTour]

In an extremely exciting final, a bogey on the 18th was enough for the giant from the north-west of the Netherlands to beat Frenchman Marius Cara by one stroke. The two played a high-class duel in round 3, with Aydan Verdonk coming out on top.

Following Mike Toorop, Aydan Verdonk is the second Dutch winner of the year on the @ProGolfTour! He also climbs to the top of the Order of Merit. Top-5 of the OoM at season’s end earn @Challenge_Tour cards.

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

Aydan Verdonk hanging in there in the final round of this week’s @ProGolfTour tournament. Would be great if he can get the W. Dario Antonisse posts a very solid 66 to get into the top 5.

[Pro Golf Tour @ProGolfTour]

At the time when the course at NewGiza Golf Club was no longer playable due to heavy rain, Dutchman Aydan Verdonk was leading the tournament on -11.

@DataGolf Thanks, that makes sense!

[DutchGolfTalk @DutchGolfTalk]

@DataGolf What’s the reason that there also is a just-under or just-over SG ARG result on the holes where he only hit an approach shot from over 50 yards and then putted? Accounting for true SG?
