Mike Korver and Nikki Hofstede have been selected as two excellent golfers who we're very pleased to welcome to the Pitchfix family. We’ll be supporting them both as they play both respective tours next season and hopefully become visible and vocal ambassadors in the importance of ballmark repair, whenever and wherever they play.
They’ll be lots of information that we’ll share throughout the year, but to begin with we’d like to introduce our community to our new team-members.

How long have you been playing? As a young girl, my parents took me to the golf course when they were playing. I liked it, but preferred other things, such as horses, and kickboxing. This resulted in me not touching a club for about 6 years. In 2016 I got reintroduced to golf. From this moment on I knew I wanted to turn pro. After a short amateur career, I decided to realize my dream and turned pro in February 2022.
Greatest strength in golfDriving and ball striking.
Favorite playerLexi Thompson! I love to watch her play. She has such a unique swing and I admire her work ethic and constant drive to get better. It inspires me to get better.
Favorite courseModderfontein, South Africa.
Ambition/target in golfShort term ambitions would be getting and securing my card on the LET, and being able to get myself in contention there. Longer term would be representing The Netherlands at the Olympics, representing Team Europe in the Solheim Cup, and competing in majors. Besides the on course goals, I think it would be amazing to inspire other people to pick up golf and to show them that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

How long have you been playing? My first time hitting balls I was roughly 4 years old. With my dad playing golf, it didn't take long for me to ask him to let me come along. I was sold from the first ball I hit. For years I had just been playing for fun, but from 2012 onwards I started competing nationally. In the summer of 2015 I played my first international event. From that moment on I have been travelling throughout Europe to compete in the most prestigious events!
Greatest strength in golfBall striking!
Favorite playerRory McIlroy! The combination of his athleticism, his attitude on the course and his aggressiveness are really appealing to me, on top of his attitude off the course. Also a big admirer of the late Seve Ballesteros and obviously Tiger!
Favourite courseRoyal St. Georges, England.
Ambition/target in golfMy target is to make it onto the DP World Tour in the next 5 years. However, the ultimate ambition is to compete in Ryder Cups and contend in Majors!
