Welcome

...on my website! I've always had a great deal of passion for golf and, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be on the EuropeanTour. I fulfilled the first step when, aged 18, I dove into the Tour in november 2000. Since then I've had a serious bunch of ups and downs... as some of you know...

So whenever you see me on tournaments, don't hesitate to come watch a couple of holes and try to enjoy this noble sport as much as I did over the past couple of years.

And never forget that golf is only a game...

Sweden, June 26th- What a battle for this Princess. What a difficult wind! 37th and in the cut at -1, I'm happy to be in the money, let's climb the ranking now. But with a average of 13 holes played over par, these conditions are tough...

Waterloo, June 21th- Since Saturday, I'm in relation with the Challenge Tour headquarters asking an invitation for The Princess in Sweden. Today, the Director of the Challenge Tour announced me the good news: I'm in the field! Sweden is inspirational for me, I like the country, the people and their spirit for sport.

Unfortunately, I had to retire from the qualification of the Open de France. The decision was easy: my objective now is to nestle a place in the Top 10 of the Order of merit of the Challenge Tour...

St Omer, June 19th- OK, 5 in a row and no cut! 4 rounds at St Omer is my Loch Ness Monster. I battled hard as my unusual card can testify. The turning point was the 12 where I had 1,2 meter downhill for birdie, my ball lipped out and the following bogey was maybe a result of it because I had the same putt in downhill (right to left). But I managed two more birides thereafter... but also a killing bogey at 16. This course is really special and those greens are so undulated and fast... Waow

So out of St Omer but my really aim in this end of June has allways been to have a go in Sweden next week. I like Sweden and I do not give up any hope to have a chance to play the Princess, the tournament organized by Henrik Stenson.

So stay tuned for a possible change in my schedule...

St Omer, June 18th- Believe me or not but this afternoon, strong winds made that course very difficult. Pin positions are in green's corners and birdies opportunities are very rare. Definitely, this course can be a real nightmare. In the afternoon, they were only 2 rounds under par. My 73 today (this late afternoon) is still in contention for the cut on friday night. With Patrick Brose on the bag, we will try to make a move under par and maybe -who knows?- I will finally make my first cut in 5 participations... Let's cross our fingers...

Waterloo, June 15th- Tomorrow morning, en route to Saint-Omer where I can play thanks to my Top 10 in Moyvallei. I just cool down today and analyze some figures. I'm 490th on the World Ranking (1271 at the beginning of the season) and 153th European. It's now 277 holes without a double bogey. I'm 10th at the Challenge Tour Order of Merit with 26.275 euros.

Next Monday and Tuesday, I will play the qualification of the Open de France, 36 holes in Chantilly. A pretty buzzy month of June, isn't it...

Moyvalley, Ireland, June 14th - 70-66 -74-68. I told you that it was within reach... Unfortunately, on the 3rd play-off hole, Robert Coles made the birdie and mine lipped out. This was my first playoff as a professionnal, the previous one was against Henrik Stenson in 2000 in Luxemburg when I was still an amateur. Good week for Belgium golf though. Now I'm looking forward to St Omer which is my Loch Ness monster...

Thank you for all your support, we all had a great afternoon: me on the course and you in front of your computer...

Moyvalley, Ireland, June 13th- 70-66 and 74. What a tough day! But I'm happy of my fight against huge winds, heavy rain and an eye lens that scratches me all day... With no caddy, the rain was difficult to handle. Hopefully tomorrow some guy of a scoreboard proposes me to carry my bag. A new team is born ;o)!

You can look at the cards of the last players and you can have a clear idea how were the conditions here. Nevertheless, with my 74, and a good birdie at the last hole, I'm only 2 shots behind the lead, so they will have to pay some attention to the Belgian guy... I'm still within reach!

 

Moyvalley, Ireland, June 12th- 70-66 on a demanding new course here in Kildare, I'm in the hunt, pleased to play because I didn't receive any invitation for the next three weeks. And St Omer and The Princess in Sweden are the two biggest prize money on our 2009 schedule. So I'm against the wall. Of course, I will try the qualification of the French open the 21 and 22 in Chantilly where 10 spots are available (300 players for 10 places). My next tournament is on July 9th, the Allianz Europen of Lyon.

But for now, let's concentrate on Moyvalley for the next two rounds...

Waterloo, May 31th- I'm pleased finishing 8th at the Telenet Trophy on the Challenge Tour this afternoon. A great eagle on the 72th for a good week, the third in a row. Even if I still made a few mistakes around three greens, I managed to end in beauty. Many thanks to my supporting spectators, the Waterloo staff, my caddy Patrick Brose, the Mich, Alexis Mannès, and you, and you and you!

 

Waterloo, May 29th- Telenet Trophy. Yesterday, a very frustrating first day (73, +1), on a very demanding course, no putt fell in the cup! Today, I started with birdies on the 10th and 12th and struggled till the 17th. From the 18th, still playing very solidely, I managed to hole some birdies on the 2-5-6 and 9 for a card of 67 (-5). The course is very tough, thick rough, fast greens and lines very delicate to read... The big battle begins tomorrow, there will be surely some show and I will make my best to be part of it. I hope I'll keep swinging well. If you come to Waterloo, I'll see you there!

Turin, May 24th- Great course again here at la Mandria in Torino. Warm weather, a bit humid, and for me a strong hey feaver. But at the end of the competition a 10th place, my first top ten since a few months! I am pretty happy with my last 68, played with Frenchman Olivier David. The birdie on the last was the cherry on the cake... and it's my second strong finish in a row. Now I need some rest, those two weeks were very tyring in the strong winds of Bretagne and the warmth of Turin.

La Marache in Royal Waterloo is on the menu this week, I heard t will be raining at the beginning of the week, which is good for my heyfeaver. The Telenet Trophy is a highlight of our season, it comes a bit early, but nevertheless, we need to take advantage to play on homesoil like Italians did last week at the Piemonte Open.

Don't hestitate, come and support me and the other Belgian players! I will enjoy to play those rounds with you.
