Hope you get a chance to view it and enjoy their tremendous power.

Biography

After a very successful career in cricket, and decided that I had other more prominent interests.
I started playing golf in October 2003, not aware to the fact that this would be the very start and the opening of the door to long drive.

I practiced at the Six Fountains Driving range, firstly not on hitting the ball long, but rather on how to perfect my game of golf. Beyers Ras, who is the Head Professional at the said driving range noticed my potential in 2005, this is when I decided to take his advice and I started competing in long drive in that very same year.

My golf handicap is currently 1.

I have hit a different number of shafts in the past years. I started off in 2005 hitting a Penley shaft in an Alpha club.

In 2006, I changed my shafts to Accuflex.  In 2007 I changed my club to SMT,still with the same Accuflex shaft, which I am still using to date.

My interests include Action Cricket, going to the gym, social activities with friends, and of course golf!

I am currently self employed in the transport industry, which allows me flex
time to train, but is increasingly difficult in busy periods, as working for ones self is very demanding, with not having anyone to relieve the work load, so I have to set aside specific time in my busy schedule to practice at the driving range and to train at the gym
