What is Josh Pieters' history in golf?

Those who watched the video of Josh Pieters' prank on Richard Mansell will have noticed that it did not seem like the South African youtuber's first time on a golf course.

Pieters did, in fact, play golf in an organized way during his childhood and adolescence. According to an interview he gave to the YouTube channel 'Seb On Golf', Pieters said that he was an above-average golf player, but did not focus on the sport as he was much better at cricket.

The Youtuber stated that he never completely abandoned golf and reached a handicap of 4 or 5 as an amateur. He stated that his current handicap was in the 10 range.

Pieters mentioned well-known South African players such as Gary Player and Ernie Els as his references in golf. He mentioned that his childhood was spent less than 40 minutes from where Els resided in his native country.

Josh Pieters has a solid career as a Youtuber with 1.47 million subscribers. Many of the videos he publishes feature pranks involving famous personalities as victims.

One of the most impactful pranks he has performed was the delivery of a fictitious award to the English far-right activist Katie Hopkins in 2020.
