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.

  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)

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...

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
