My games
My love for videogames started in 1982. The game was Donkey Kong. I played it in de arcade of Henne Strand in Denmark. Soon at home we had a Philips Videopac and a Commodore VIC-20. After those classic machines I have owned a Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, PC’s, Nintendo Switch and Playstations. My current daily drivers are a gaming PC and a Playstation 5. I love both single player and online multiplayer. Arma 3 has a special place. Every Thursday night I meet my friends online to play a mission.

My golf
My wife Marieke and I learned golf during a crash course at Golfpark Soestduinen. This a par 3 golfcourse. We have been playing in Soestduinen for a year. During that year we also played at par 4 and par 5 golfcourses in our region. We decided that we really liked the course in Putten. In October of 2021 we became members of Golfclub Putten. This golfclub is par 4 golfcourse close to our residence. We try to play every week and have a training session with the club pro every month.
