Inside the Mind of a Pro Golfer: Johannes Veerman Chats with Justin Thomas
Justin Thomas: Hey Johannes! Great to finally catch up with you. You’ve been making waves on the European Tour this year. How have you been feeling about your game lately?
Johannes Veerman: Hey Justin! It’s good to be here. It’s definitely been quite a ride. My swing feels solid, and I’ve been working a lot on my short game. The European courses have their own set of challenges, but I’ve been enjoying every moment of it.
Justin Thomas: I hear you. Every course seems like it has a personality of its own. What’s been the most memorable course for you so far?
Johannes Veerman: That’s a tough one! I’d have to say Valderrama in Spain. The layout is just beautiful and playing there feels like stepping into a different world. It tests every part of your game.
Justin Thomas: Valderrama, huh? I gotta make my way over there. Speaking of testing your game, what’s been the one part of your game you’ve really focused on improving this year?
Johannes Veerman: Definitely my putting. I’ve been working with my coach on reading greens better and getting more consistent within 10 feet. It’s amazing how many strokes you can save with a dependable putter.
Justin Thomas: For sure. The flat stick can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Switching gears a bit, what do you do to relax and unwind when you’re off the course?
Johannes Veerman: I enjoy exploring new places, which is one of the perks of the tour. I also love cooking. It’s therapeutic for me. Trying out local recipes and just getting to know different cultures through their food is fantastic.
Justin Thomas: That’s awesome! What’s the best dish you’ve whipped up recently?
Johannes Veerman: I made a killer paella the last time I was in Spain. It had the perfect mix of flavors, and the seafood was fresh. It was a hit with the team!
Justin Thomas: That sounds amazing! Next time we’re at a tournament together, you’re going to have to cook for me.
Johannes Veerman: Deal! I’ll bring the paella, you bring that famous Kentucky bourbon of yours.
Justin Thomas: Haha, it’s a date then. Cheers to good golf and even better food. Keep up the great work out there, Johannes.
Johannes Veerman: Thanks, Justin. Likewise, keep those wins coming and let’s catch up more often.
