Representing my country at a stage like the Olympics was maybe the best experience I ever had on a golf course.ĭo you wear different models and types of golf shoes for varying course conditions? I know from experience that I don't need a breaking in process with new ECCO shoes because of the materials and their build quality. But now, hand to my heart, I can put a new ECCO shoe straight in to play before a tournament or even on a Friday like I did at the 2020 British Open. Sometimes I even needed to plaster my heels to not get blisters from new shoes. If golf shoes are not comfortable, I'm not going to wear them.ĭo you need to break new shoes in or do you take them out of the box straight into tournament play?īefore I was with ECCO I needed some time before a tournament to break in new shoes. That's why for me the most important question is: are they comfortable? In fact it does not matter to me if it`s golf shoes or high heels. Most of our rounds take five hours and with practice it adds up pretty quick. We spend a long part of the day in our golf shoes. What is it that you look for in a golf shoe? I feels that's going to get by super quick. A while back I set myself the goal to retire at 30 and that's only another seven years away. Being on tour, time has flown by so quickly and I learned a lot about myself and my game. I wouldn't call myself a tour veteran but I'm kind of in that middle range in terms of experience. I told him "23” and he looked genuinely surprised: "What? you're only 23?!”Įven for me it feels like I've been out there for quite a while. I talked to Erik van Rooyen during the photo shoot today and he asked me how old I am.
That in itself keeps me motivated and, of course, seeing how well a lot of the ladies on tour are playing is a great motivation and inspiration for me to keep working hard and hopefully put myself in contention more often.ĭoes it feel strange that, despite only being 23, you are one of the more experienced players on tour? There is no perfect score - compared to bowling, for example, where you can hit a perfect number. I love that challenging aspect of golf and no matter what ranked player you are or how well you are playing, there is always something that you can get better at. It's a very challenging sport - one day you feel that everything is clicking and the next day you have no idea where your game has gone. How do you stay motivated when you've achieved so much at such a young age?
