Welcome to Coach Hendrik Bührmann

"Dunhill Challenge Victory – A Legendary Team Moment"

"Mark McNulty, Wayne Westner, Retief Goosen, Tony Johnstone, myself, Gary Player, Ernie Els, Fulton Allem, Nick Price, and David Frost – united for the Dunhill Challenge, the predecessor to the President's Cup. It was an unforgettable honor to hole the winning putt and secure the victory for our team, creating a cherished memory."

Welcome to Hendrik Bührmann, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of golf. With a career spanning decades, both as a professional golfer and a dedicated coach, I am here to help you elevate your game, no matter where you are in the world. My goal is simple: to share my wealth of experience and passion for golf with players who are eager to improve and succeed.

About Hendrik Bührmann

As the Director of Player Development at BDGA, I have dedicated my life to golf, both as a player and as a coach. My journey began at the age of 16, and within just two years, I became a scratch golfer. From there, my love for the game propelled me to the pinnacle of amateur golf in South Africa, where I won the Free State Open three times and became the number one amateur in the country.

In 1985, I turned professional and embarked on a career that took me around the globe. I have competed at the highest levels, from the Sunshine Tour in South Africa to the Asian Tour, the European Tour, and the Canadian Tour. My professional highlights include winning 9 titles, battling the likes of Ernie Els down the stretch to claim the Wild Coast Classic, and triumphing at the Aamby Valley Asian Masters in India.

I have also had the honor of representing South Africa on the world stage. In 1995, I partnered with Retief Goosen in the World Cup and holed the winning putt in the Dunhill Challenge, a moment I cherish as a highlight of my career.
