Jelle Nijdam

Jelle Nijdam will not be the new coach of Foreldorado Golff. The veteran has found the function of the new Dutch team too complex. Manager Gerrie van Gerwen said "I have had one conversation with him. He told me that would think about it. But we must now concentrate on the other candidates.

Foreldorado Golff shall now choose between Jacques Hanegraaf and Hennie Kuiper. Hopefully we can next week present the team and the new coach, Van Gerwen said on Sunday in Gieten.
