That’s the strap I normally wear in this weather (later that day it fired up to 43) but in all fairness I just couldn’t find the rubber strap that quickly haha

They reopened for members only 2 weeks back and have been playing most of these 14 days. Whenever you’re in Dubai let me know in advance and I’ll gladly take you fore a round of golf

maybe next time you come back to the Netherlands and take a detour to visit France (Paris and Cannes/Nice/Monaco area) send me a message in advance and we can arrange something together. The golf club was closed also for COVID-19 but recently opened back up last week 👍⛳🏌️‍♂️ Likewise if I am in California or Florida and you happen to visit as my homes are also on golf courses there as well 😁
