What he loves about Golf:
“That one perfect shot that brings you back for more and more”
What the Tour says about him:
““Gunship”. “Tank”. “Dick” even. He has been called many things, a “subtle presence on course” is not one of them. A crisp iron from the steel that is the extension of his tungsten biceps can be heard across the field; as too can his retelling of that round’s events at fines. Top notch Boytjie who, like yours truly, lusts to take down one of the Tour’s big guns.”
“You got his name wrong, it is “Dick Gargler””
“His name says it all, Dick Gargler…”
“Yeah buddy, I’m taking a mulligan!”
“There are no such things as mulligans in REAL golf”
“The most unusual stile to his shots, but he is confident and it works for him, kind of like Jim Furyk.”
“The man with a 20 handicap nearly hitting a hole in one at CCJ”
“For he’s a jolly good fellow….. Except when he’s a c*nt”
“The only guy on tour who can’t scratch his own back”
“Possibly the most polite man I have ever met. A true squire… really enjoy his company and always a good laugh.”
“Let’s just cut his handicap to 15”
