If you can, then JUST DO IT!
Meyer Du Toit was my Assistant PGA Professional at Pezula. He has been my good friend for nearly 22 years and he is one of South Africa’s leaders in the golf industry.
Meyer has been the GM at San Lameer for a number of years. Along with his wife, Vickey, they reshaped the look and feel of the club. I mean that in a number of ways. Meyer got stuck into the playability of the course, recommending changes that would also improve the beauty as well.
They were involved when the club was re-modelled and the improvements make the club much more comfortable. Add the pizza oven, the concerts, the special events, the upgrades to the par 3 course, night golf and much more and you have a vibrant club and great golfing destination. Oh, did I mention the mountain bike track; that works too!

PGA Professional of the Year | 
Just married! |
Meyer was named PGA Professional of the Year for his great leadership, innovative skills and contributions to the great game of golf. He’s on a diet as much as me and has probably gained and lost as many pounds as me, as well! Meyer is the host with the most, providing great memories for everyone he has ever met.
His love for the game and those who play has helped to develop a long relationship with Branden Grace. Vickey and Nieke are also great friends. They have travelled to the Majors together (Meyer once had to lose a few kilos to earn a “free ride” and he did). They went to the Open Championship, The Presidents Cup and The US Open. Meyer carried Branden’s bag at the Par 3 Tournament before the Masters at Augusta and now they are going to take their relationship to another level. Meyer is becoming part of Branden’s management team and will relocate to America with Vickey. His decision was backed by his Club Chairman, who Meyer said could not have been more supportive. They part ways amicably and I am sure the Du Toits will be sorely missed.
Meyer’s first real assignment was to meet the team in JHB and assist with things at the SA Open. I don’t think he gave Branden any putting advice, that came from coach Brad Faxon. Branden rolled in putt after putt to win South Africa’s Major coming from behind. He followed up this week with a T-17 performance in the desert. Meyer will join Gracie for the Waste Management Open (formerly the Phoenix Open) next week.
Good luck, you two! We are all proud of you!
