Hello from The Netherlands

[Dirk Diggler]

Hi guys and Galls,

My name is Bas van Wijngaarden from Baarn in the Netherlands.
I'm 24 years old.
I was reading the Sandtrap quite a lot so i thought lets be a forum member.

I've been playing for a year now.

I play with Nike CPR2 steel shafts.

Hope to speak to you soon

b.t.w. still playing of hcp. 36 because of permit rules in the Netherlands, so it takes a while before you can play on a course..(i'll explain thet later)

Oliver,

Thanks for the offer Venlo for me is only a 1,5/2 hour drive.so i think we should play sometime.
I can play on courses in holland to now.
But before you can you have to pass an exam over here that took about half a year. so effectively been playing for 6 months

yo bas alles goed?
I was in Holland last week visiting my sister in Rotterdam. I played a round at GCR pitch-n-putt. They asked if I had a GVB, so I showed them my Los Angeles Golf Reservation card and it was good enuff. Anywayz, don't play GCR, it's a a rather silly course. Next time I'm in Holland you better take me to a real course.

hi aqua, I wonder if we can make it happen this year.. me and my wife will spend a week in Cologne (August 18th - 25th) before our trip to St. Andrews

I don't know the whole deal with the "card" in germany (when I left the country I wasn't playing golf at all...) but wonder if you'd be interested in arranging a round with us? I'm USGA 3.5, she's 24.5... I was trying to contact Gut Leacherhof, but they never got back to me... If you can not play yourself - what course within 1-2hr from Cologne would you recommend?

that golf site in rotterdam looked amazing, well... at least the driving range did, can't say I have ever hit on such a flashy range

if you are ever in NYC - check out the Chelsea Pier (not sure of spelling

) driving range. Pretty niffty, especially cool is the feature, that allows you to set the hight of the tee and balls are poping up from the ground with the ball already teed-up God forbid we'd have to actually bend over to put the ball on the tee... too much excercise.
