Jaap Gernaat

Hi everyone, foooore!

My name is Jaap, the man behind @chasing_golfballs.

I thought it would be nice if you got to know me a bit better by telling you some more about myself.

I'm a father of two beautiful daughters Nina & Amy and I live in Emmen, Netherlands. I run a consultancy agency, which specialises in strategic advice and besides golf I also play football.

I started playing golf in 2007 and have been enjoying the game ever since. Over the last three years I have started to play more and train more, in order to improve my game. I also enjoy watching golf and attending golf events, such as the Ryder Cup, which I attended in 2014 and 2023.

So, you could describe me as a golf addict :) If you are interested in following my journey, follow me on Instagram!
