This is exactly the sort of story that reminds us that pro golfers are just as pragmatic -- or weird, relying in your angle -- because the rest people. And in my opinion, it simply makes King Louis appear that an awful lot cooler to me.
Louis Oosthuizen is gambling on the Volvo Golf Champions down in Durban, South Africa. It's a pro-am event, and Volvo planned to offer a automobile to the second one-round chief of the event. Louis without difficulty took that honor with his two-round rating of -12... But he did not need a brand new car.
As we all realize, Louis is a farmer at heart who played the John Deere Classic just as it changed into John Deere... And who now not most effective hung out on the Deere manufacturing unit however offered some system whilst he became there.
Many of you may no longer understand that, in addition to automobiles, Volvo also makes heavy machinery. (In reality, Volvo Trucks North America's company headquarters are in Greensboro, NC approximately 20 minutes from in which I stay.) And it simply so occurred that Volvo was giving away a exclusive kind of car for a hollow-in-one at the 15th.
It did not take Louis lengthy to convince Volvo he'd rather have the excavator than the car.
Here's what Louis stated approximately it:
"I've been nagging my wife for a few years that I want something at the farm as there are some stumps and things I want to take away. And it is why I stood over that putt on 18 for a piece longer than everyday. So I'm going to play around with it and might dig out a few bunkers."Apparently he doesn't plan to play golf next week:
?I'm walking away with a pleasant gift for the farm. That's going to be a lot of amusing next week playing round with it!?At least he won't have to worry about speeding tickets.
