Bobby Lincoln

- Played on the European Tour from 1976 to 1980.
- Started his golf career as a 13-year old when a friend persuaded him to buy golf clubs instead of a go-cart. Bought his first set for R10 - a half set of Valiant Clubs. Started playing with friends on a self-designed golf course at the top of mine dumps near Crown Mines.
- Left school aged 17, and joined Tienie Britz as the assistant professional at Southdowns and currently Managing Director of a South African company that manufactures petro- chemical products.
- Served on the Southern Africa Tour Players Committee since 1991 and is currently the Chairman.
- Has a reputation for designing and using unusual putters. He used his love of hunting to design a putter based on the barrel of a weapon with a metal bar jutting out at 90 degrees behind the head. It was this club that earned him victory in the 1998 Platinum Classic.  
- Bobby is one of the few professionals who never played golf as an amateur.
Played twice on the Champions tour in 2003, T64th State Farm Senior Classic and T24th, Turtle Bay Championship. Earned a conditional exemption on the Champions Tour for 2004 as a result of his 11th-place finish at the National Qualifying Tournament at the TPC at Eagle Trace in Florida. Carded a final-round 70 on the last day to improve from a T16 after three days.
