The James Hart Du Preez Thread

[jfox789]

Is anyone else super excited to see how James Hart Du Preez will play this weekend? Bryson with an accent? And how is it possible to the hit ball over 300 yards with a 3 wood?!

A 6-foot-9 missile launcher is making his PGA Tour debut this week. Who is this guy?

James Hart du Preez sounds more myth than man: 6-foot-9 with a 373-yard driving average. Now, he's coming to the PGA Tour.

Never heard of him before, but this should be fun to watch! 373 yard driving average?

Big man make ball go far.

Ya imagine carrying the ball 345 on average.

Unimaginable to see someone hit that far in person. Realistically quite a few Par 4’s are drivable and worse case trouble is a flip wedge.

won't make cut. So watch him soon.

I read about him earlier today. Should be interesting to see him in a tour event.

tallest golfer to win 6 7...Game is very tough for the tall player. But he can launch it.

 

[Daluteh]

Wait... You're telling me he only hits a 7i 6 yards further than @Canadan ? Color me unimpressed!

 

[Gyro25]

Guy looks like a football player, and not a qb, who can actually play golf.. insaaaaane numbers

I wonder where he would rank on tour in distance with a child’s driver

 

[golfinnut]

He's the real "Cinderella Story" ....

"he's got about uhh 240 yards left now, tears in his eyes I guess, it's about a 5-iron"

 

[mikeg_74]

this one will be fun to watch. If he has the touch as well as distance....watch out.

 

[Deebo76]

I hope he can putt

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

What if his chipping and putting is great and he just can’t hit it straight or control distance out of the rough?!

I think you jinxed it! Starting with a 6 on the par 4 opener. Brutal

I work on commission. Anyone else you guys want me to go after?

He hits his driver a LOT further than I do hahahaha

 

[Canadan]

What I like about him, is that he's doing it a different way. Just a big, strong guy making power.

Golf continues to show how insanely versatile the swing is.

 

[lockstockrye]

The guy hits 373 but can barely break par. Not sure if that is worth watching. If you must watch a long hitter it is better to watch Jamie Sadlowski play.

 

[MWard]

Yeah, but does he keep his right palm up in the downswing? I mean how good is he really?

Well I am playing match play on Saturday

 

[jfox789]

This guy is +3 through 2.. we should start sending him some THP swag
