    I’ve seen Russell play and he is a fantastic up and coming talent. He’ll be a great representative for the Basic brand. Soon enough he’ll be playing with the big boys.

    Hi russ, I was playing around on the internet as you do, and I entered my name into googal search and wham bang you came up.I live in north kent Uk were there are many good golf courses, and at reasonable prices.
    As at 68 yeas of age I can’t afford the £160 prices of places like Wentworth.
    Unlike yourself I am rubbish at golf, as a light weight at a mere 146 lb I swing to fast and as a result I can’t get back to the sweet of the meet, some times I strike a good one, but no consistence.
    Enough about me. I wish you all the best in your carrier and look forward to seeing you at major events.
    Best wishes …………Russell knox.

    I have known Russel since he was 5 years of age i have played golf with him at Nairn Dumbar even when he was a 36 handicap. I watched him develop his career to the stage he is at now. His dad is a close friend of mine and he still cringes that he cannot yet beat his son.:)

    Hey Russell…I caddied for you at the ComSouth Classic in August and I noticed that you had a 1st and 2nd place finished recently. Congratulations! It really was an honor carrying the bag for you. You are a true gentleman and a great competitor.

    My feet healed up nicely! I hope to catch up with you next year at the 2010 ComSouth. I will have better footwear by then. Keep playing like the champ you are. I will be looking for you on the PGA.
