Neve Perhaps best known for the classic TV ad ‘Klipdrift Met Eish’, Neels van Jaarsveld has his most fun out on the golf course, writes GARY LEMKE in Compleat Golfer. What is your handicap and how often do you play? I’m a 10, but am working hard to get this down to single figures. I try to play twice a week, but it’s not always that easy as it tends to chew up time. When I started, I played almost every day and sometimes I’d fit in 72 holes on four courses over two days. I play mostly at Kleinmond Golf Club or Arabella, but I’m also a member at Parys Golf Club. How did the golf bug bite? When I moved to Johannesburg to play the character of a doctor in Binnelanders, I used to go to to the Brits-Magaliesberg area quite often. A friend’s sister had a contact at Brits Golf Club [now Seasons Lifestyle Estate]. The course had beautiful undulating fairways and gnarly greens and there were healthy zebras walking around. I was hooked. What are your favourite course memories? I’ve been lucky enough to have experienced some amazing courses. A special moment was playing the Links at Fancourt with my fiancee and hardly anyone else was on the course. On another occasion, we stopped play with our 9-irons in hand for a viewing of a lovely herd of elephant at Elephant Hills in Zimbabwe. Having played 96 of the top 100 courses in South Africa – and many outside that list – I can honestly say this country is a golfer’s paradise. Which are the four courses in that top 100 that you haven’t yet ticked off? It’s going to be an interesting road trip when I get round to it. The ones I haven’t played, but intend to, are Fish River, Katberg, Sishen and San Lameer. And your favourite courses? All the Fancourt courses stand out, as do Arabella, Parys Golf & Country Estate, Pearl Valley, Erinvale, St Francis Links, Cotswold Downs, Serengeti and Highland Gate. They are all special and should be part of anyone’s golfing bucket list. Have you ever scored a hole-in-one? Neels van Jaarsveld (19**-). Actor on stage and screen.
