Yes, lets hope he can play well during the desert swing! He thinks he can qualify for the Masters, but some good, solid golf is needed then during the first tournaments of this year. Come on Joost!

Well, like I said, probably making a dog's lunch out of the pronunciation but...Joost Luiten...Juice Newton...no? Tap, tap. Is this thing on?

Yea, he has a little bit this dorky look... but when he starts talking you notice he really is not. Very confident without getting too cocky, realistic, sportsman and actually quite down to earth. And

Joost, rhymes with toast. Along with plenty of great golf and socializing, I'm proud to say that @MacDutch and the rest of his merry band taught me how to properly pronounce Joost's name, first a

Nice start of 2016; Luiten shoots -3 in the first round of Abu Dhabi, and finds himself inside the top 15.

Followed by a excellent, bogey-free round of -4. At this moment T3, will probably drop a few spots in the upcoming hours but a good position into the weekend.

Tomorrow Luiten will tee off at T1 position. Played 10 holes of the third round. Quite a strong tournament so a lot of OWGR points to gain. Let's do this!

A good T5 finishing position for Luiten; two tournaments played in the 2016 season, two top 5s. Hopes were for more after T2 into the last round, but his last round was the worst of this tournament. Nevertheless a good result in this strong tournament.

Just came across this thread for the first time. I had an encounter with Joost at the US Open at Chambers Bay.....

I went with my 13 year old son, along with my friend and his son. On Saturday, we were taking a bit of a break from walking around and were hanging out by the practice area. Joost was the only golfer on the practice green at the time (it was after his round) and we were watching him. The boys both had flags for signatures; we didn't call to him as he was working, and he saw the boys and came over on his own and signed their flags....his is easy to find as it is in the Dutch orange on the flag. 

I was very impressed that came over and engaged the kids....since then we are Joost fans!

He will be making many more fans in the future no doubt. I look forward to the chance to see him play on US soil someday.

Luiten continues to show his good form; a decent bogey-free round of -3 at the Qatar Masters. Top 25 after day 1.

Hmm, the (live) scorecard on the ET-website was incorrect, it's changed to -2 (one bogey at the back nine).

Am just wondering why Joost is finding it so hard to put together 4 good rounds.  The Abu Dhabi tournament if he had a 2 or 3 under on the final day would have been about 12 under and could realistically have challenged for the win.  Still, glad he is doing well and getting a top 10 finish.

It's frustrating, but on the other hand: there are only a handful players who can play consitantly 4 good rounds in a tournament. If you do, you battle for victory. If Joost continues to play like he started this season (2 starts 2 top5's) he might win one or two tournaments and that will equal a very good season.

Well, another very good round: a bogey-free -5. T7 for now, and in contention into the weekend.

Fair enough, I understand that few golfers are consistent, but I would assume that all pro's would work towards that as their key goal.  Unless one is able to be consistent, a person would not win a lot of tournaments.  Anyway, glad he is doing well in the Qatar tournament now.  Hope he manages consistency here to potentially win

Not a good round from Luiten today: +2. Could have been a lot worse, he ended his round with three birdies in a row. A lot of other players also not scoring well today (Garcia +4 and Colsaerts +6 for now). Inside the top 25 so a good position is still possible. The win is normally out of reach.

After -2 in the final round, Joost finished T13. He was not too happy about the last three holes today, and felt like he missed out a very good chance for another top 5. Anyway, good result. Next week the Dubai Desert Classic.

Very good start from Luiten in Dubai. After -3 in the first round, he shot a bogeyfree -5 in the second. At this moment T3, one shot behind the (clubhouse)leaders. He really seems to be playing like 2014 again...

      Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

      Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.

      This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
