Alright, alright, let me tell you about this fella, Erik van Rooyen, and his missus. You know, the kind of story you hear down at the market, simple and sweet.
So, who’s this Erik guy anyway?
Well, from what I hear, he’s a golfer, a pretty good one at that. Won himself a couple of those PGA thingamajigs. Seems like he swings them clubs real good. Folks say he’s from some place far away, South Africa, Oudtshoorn I think they called it. Went to school over here in America though, at the University of Minnesota, smart fella, I guess.
And his wife? What’s her story?
Now, the important part, his wife! Her name is Rose, Rose van Rooyen, though she used to be Rose Roberts, before they got hitched, I reckon. Met Erik at that same Minnesota school, a love story for the ages, like them old movies, huh? They live together, cozy as can be, in Johannesburg, South Africa, though they probably travel around for Erik’s golf games, makes sense right?
More about Erik, the golfer man.
This Erik fella, he ain’t just playing golf for fun, no sir. He plays for something bigger, something important. There was this fella, Jon Trasamar, Erik’s best buddy. Poor guy was sick with cancer. Erik, he won a big golf game, the WWT Championship, for Jon. Made everyone real emotional, I tell ya. But then, just a few days later, Jon passed away. Real sad, that is. Shows you that Erik has a big heart, playing for his friend like that.
- Erik grew up in Oudtshoorn, that’s in South Africa, you see.
- Went to Oudtshoorn High School, good for him.
- Then, he went to America for college, University of Minnesota, fancy place.
- Played golf there for four years, from 2009 to 2013, that’s a long time.
- Met his wife, Rose, at the University, love knows no bounds eh?
- Won a couple of PGA tours, a real champion.
And now they are a family!
They got themselves a family too, Erik and Rose. Having kids changes everything, everyone knows that. Makes you appreciate the small things, like a good cup of coffee or sunshine on your face. I bet they’re real happy, raising their kids, showing them the world, and telling them stories about golf and old friends like Jon.
Erik and Rose Van Rooyen, what a life.
So, there you have it, the story of Erik van Rooyen and his wife, Rose. A golfer with a good heart, a loving wife, and a family to call his own. They live far away, but their story ain’t so different from ours, you see. Just folks trying to make the best of life, love each other, and maybe win a golf game or two along the way. Just simple folks, livin’ life, just like the rest of us.
Family life must be important to them.
You know, hearing about them makes me think about my own family. It’s the most important thing, ain’t it? Having someone to share your life with, someone to laugh with, someone to hold your hand when things get tough. That’s what it’s all about, whether you’re a fancy golfer or just a plain old woman like me. Family and love, that’s the real winning prize.
It’s all about love and golf it seems.
So next time you see that Erik fella on TV, swingin’ his golf club, remember there’s more to him than just golf. There’s a wife, a family, and a story that’s worth telling. A story about love, loss, and the simple things in life. And that, my friends, is what really matters.
And that’s the whole story, as best I can tell it.
I ain’t no fancy writer, but I told it like I know it. Simple and true. Just like those folks Erik and Rose, just livin’ their lives, one day at a time.
