On the qualifications side, I have a degree in Mathematics and Statistics, a TPI certified instructor with certificates in Golf Pro level 2, Junior Coach level 2 and level 3. I also have the Advanced Rules qualification from the PGA.
Wow, a fellow math geek, no wonder I enjoy your posts! I was a math major many years ago (over 20 now, damn).
Where have you played in the US?
I have friends from South Africa, from Jo-Burg & Cape Town. It's my opinion that the South African accent may just edge out the Aussie accent and the Irish and Scottish accent when bestowed upon the ladies. What's your experience in this regard? 
What are the toughest weather conditions you've played in?
Ever qualified for The Open?

First trip to the States was San Francisco GC, Meadow Club, Pebble, Spyglass, Cypress finishing with The Valley Club. Where do you go from there? Later on in California played Pasatiempo, Richmond, Gleneagles (two dangerous ones!), Green Hills, San Geromino, Vente Wineyards, Castlewood. Last year played Chicago GC, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Downs. In Florida quite a few non descript courses but notable ones include World Woods, Lake Nona and Old Marsh, one course in Texas, Tapatio Springs and played the Air Force Academy in Colorado in May.
The South African accent is very alluring but would put the Scottish one on a par with it.
Plenty of bad conditions at Easter in Rosses Point but the worst was probably St. Andrews Bay a few years back, when play was suspended I was on a hole getting ready to hit 4 iron for my third, having failed to reach the fairway and hit a 60 yard hack from the junk, play was resumed 2 days later (this was june 04) and when one of my friends played the hole in calm conditions,later on, he hit 3 wood, lob wedge.
I played in final qualifying for the Open a few times, the closest I came was for Muirfield in 02 while still and amateur, had the 2nd best score on the second day but still fell short.
