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

Joost Luiten wins the 'Dutch golfplayer of the year award'.

Well, not that there was a lot of competition to be honest unfortunatly. Maybe Derksen since he retired this season and played quite well, but in level of golf, perfomances and results nobody else deserved to win.

Super Joost ends 2014 as 29th on the OWGR.

He will start 2015 with a new caddie. Janni Basson, untill recently Robert-Jan Derksen's caddie, will be Joost his partner. His previous caddie Dan Quinn only caddied Joost since May 2014, but despite the win at the Wales Open there were too many disagreements on and off the course, according to Joost.

'Joost Luiten becomes a household name in the U.S.'

Kevin Casey, @ http://www.golfwrx.com/269837/six-bold-predictions-for-2015/bwGLYHTqpJG9Jx43.99

'If you’re American and do not pay attention to the golf played in Europe, please educate yourself to this name! Luiten is a European Tour mainstay whose profile has risen quickly in the last two years. As recently as June 2013, the Dutchman was 137th in the world golf rankings, before winning twice in Europe as part of an eight top-10 campaign. His new top-50 ranking allowed him into all of golf’s majors and WGCs for the first time, and he produced a stellar one-win, nine top-10 follow-up season to put his world ranking at No. 29 for the moment.

And James Savage, from National Club Golfer.com:

'Widely tipped as a major champion in the making, the Dutchman has got the game to be a force in 2015. The way he held-off a classy field to win the Wales Open was impressive. With four European Tour wins to his name already, he knows how to get over the line. Yet to really make his mark in a major so could easily be under-estimated by those across the Atlantic.'

Super Joost his full schedule for 2015. Pretty much only big tournaments (actually the KLM Open seems to be the 'smallest' looking at the purse). Starting end of February Luiten will play for 3 weeks straight in Florida, and he won't play in Europe untill the end of May. His first tournament this year he will use mostly for training and working with his coaches.

Wowza, yup, he picked the good ones!

This could be the year of the JOOST

Edit:

I assume he'll be playing the Fed Ex playoffs if he makes them?

Next week, Super Joost will play his first tournament of 2015, in Dubai. He will use it mainly as training (he's already there) and preparation of some PGA tournaments in February.

Being in the top 30 of the world, he will be one of the highest ranked players in the field. However also McIlroy, Stenson, Garcia, Kaymer, Dubuisson and others will play so hopefully it will be an exciting tournament.

Go Joost!

Joost will tee it up again tomorrow. In a flight with good friend Wiesberger and Marcel Siem. Not sure what to expect from Joost, first tournament of 2015 and his main focus seems to be on the PGA season (3 tournaments in Florida starting end of February).

An okay round 2, with a score of -2 for the day (-5 total) currently at T19. Will lose some places since a lot of players are still in the field. Shot 5 birdies today, but unfort. also 3 bogeys (including one on the last hole). I think for his first tournament of the year it's good he reaches the weekend (easily) and hopefully he can go low starting tomorrow.

I have always noticed that Joost regularly makes bogeys, apart from his best rounds. I'm not sure if this is due to my bias (I look more at Joost's scores than other players') or if this is really true.

Interesting, now I'm curious if that's true. He rarely misses a cut, so if he makes more bogeys than a lot of other players, he probably makes a lot more birdies as well.

Lets try to compare him with players shooting the same score in the same tournament.

2013 KLM Open, Jimenez and Luiten both -12 after round 4 (T1). Luiten shot 21 birdies and 9 bogeys. Jimenez 17 birdies and 5 bogeys.

2014 Spanish Open. Jimenez wins at -4, Luiten shot -3. Luiten shot 18 birdies, 1 eagle, 11 bogeys and and 3 double bogeys. Jimenez 14 birdies, 9 bogeys and 1 double.

2014 Wales Open. Luiten wins at -14, Lowry 2nd at -13. Luiten shot 19 birdies and 5 bogeys. Lowry 19 birdies and 5 bogeys as well.

2014 DP World Championship. Luiten T9 at -11, Donaldson and Garcia T12 at -10. Luiten shot 19 birdies, 6 bogeys and 1 double. Donaldson shot 18 birdies, 8 bogeys. Garcia 18 birdies, 2 eagles, 10 bogeys and a double bogey.

Just 4 tournaments, so probably not enough information to get to a conclusion, but the first two tournaments I mentionend Luiten shot more bogeys than the person with the same or similar score, and also more birdies (both in comparisation to Jimenez that is). The other two tournaments that wasn't the case. Have to make a lot more comparisations ofcourse, but starting now I will pay attention to it ;-)

That's also what I noticed: he does make more birdies too if he's playing well. If he's not, those bogeys drop him off the leaderboard.

Again a -2 today. Not bad, not impressive also. At least it's good to see Joost making those birdies and playing out there again.

      My Favorite Putts

      By klineka ·

      I don't remember a ton of favorite putts (maybe I need to make more) but here's two that I do remember.  18th at Kyber Run  We had been playing a 4v4 Scramble for $25 a guy and it had been absolutely pouring the entire day. Talking like 4+ hours of non-stop rain, but we had this money match planned for a while and the course was happy to take our greens fees. The foursome we were playing against was the group in front of us and they just finished and were watching us come up 18 from under a pavilion out of the rain. We thought we had a 1 stroke lead going into 18, but they had birdied 17 to tie things up. They parred 18. So they knew we were tied as we played 18. We had about a 35 footer straight up the hill for birdie and by this point water is starting to pool up on the green. I'm the last person to putt in the group, step up and hit it about as twice as hard as I normally would from that distance, water is spraying up behind the ball as it's rolling, ended up being perfect speed and drops in for a birdie, giving us the win and not realizing why they were so shocked about the putt until we realized that it was for the win.   12th at Talamore We had been playing 2v2 best ball and our opponents hadn't been playing great as we had a 3up lead through 8 mainly due to their mistakes rather than our great play. I went on a bit of a heater, holing a 10 footer on 9 for par to win the hole, birdied 10 after hitting a wedge to 12 feet and pouring that in, birdied the par 5 11th after hitting my 3rd shot to 4 feet to put us 6up with 7 to go. Par 4 12th, pin is front left and I am on the green back right after hitting a great punch slice recovery shot from the right trees. I had 50 feet left for birdie and was just trying to lag it close, it ended up going in the hole and I walked it in for my 3rd straight birdie and ended the match right there as my two opponents just shook their heads and my teammate was cracking up with laughter.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By GolfLug ·

      Why you young whipper-snapper you!😋 To OP, I have no routine, I eye-ball up to half wedge (40-60 yards) most days. Only time I am somewhat deliberate in checking is distances to clear hazards.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Well, I just got back from 7 days straight of golf in Las Vegas.  I've played all three courses at Paiute Golf Resort. Normally I say that the Wolf course is my favorite, but I do really like Snow Mountain as well. I'll say this, all three courses are really great there. You can't go wrong by playing Paiute.  Then I played a tournament at Bear's Best. Been playing that tournament for like 15-16 years now. We've only been at Bear's Best for the last 10, before that we were at Prime Valley. It was a great tournament. For some reason my head fell off during my Saturday round to take me totally out of contention. I also hit a piss-poor tee shot on the 4th hole of the horserace to take my partner and I out of that.  I hit some really great shots during the tournament. But you don't win tournaments by hitting great shots. You win tournaments by making low scores. Which I simply wasn't able to do.  It was great, and now only 357 more days until next year's tournament.

      My Favorite Putts

      By mcanadiens ·

      One that comes to mind ... #2 Jasper Hills GC, par 3 Naturally this one was to save par.  Hit two awful shots to find myself on the very front of this fairly large size green. The hole was in the back, left corner with a decent amount of right to left break. I'd only be guessing what the actual distance was, but it was easily over 50 feet. There was so much bend on the back end of the putt that it just seemed really unlikely until the last few seconds when it broke back to the hole, hit the stick dead center and dropped.
