Robertson Golf Club member aims to grow in his career through his caddie
Altron Big Easy Tour tournament, Houghton Golf, tournaments,
Robertson Golf Club member Jacquin Hess is two strokes ahead of the field after the opening round of the Altron Big Easy Tour tournament at Houghton Golf Club.
“I was a bit disappointed with how I played the back nine at Randpark last week, so I sent my caddie a short motivational video to watch to get us ready for this week. But it’s all down to good decision making between myself and my caddie, but today we were clear about every shot we chose and it’s getting better,” he said.
Although Hess had a shaky start to the round and quickly rectified this, he said he continually worked on being a good golfer.
“I’ve put in a lot of work in the last three years and I’m still learning. But I am beginning to see some rewards now and I have a great caddie, one of the very best on the Sunshine Tour and we keep getting better. We are making good decisions and it was important today because this is a tricky layout.”
According to media consultant Matthews Mfubu , Hess knows that the next two rounds will be important if he is to claim his second Altron Big Easy Tour title sooner rather than later.
“It’s important to have a great start in these tournaments and I think Marvin, my caddie, and I started well. The plan is to win on the Sunshine Tour this season but it would be nice to win another Big Easy title,” said Hess.
Mfubu added the Big Easy Tour was founded in 2011 with support from Ernie Els and counts current international star Christiaan Bezuidenhout among its former Order of Merit winners.
The scores are:
- 67 – Jacquin Hess
- 69 – Nicholaus Frade, Ricky Hendler, Adam Breen, Nikhil Rama, Gerhard Pepler, Carlos Laranja, Samuel Simpson, Richard Kruger
- 70 – Coert Groenewald, Reinhardt Blaauw, Dayne Moore
