Remember a few months ago we all had a good laugh over the Francois Botha and Sonny Bill Williams fight? Well the White Buffalo was back in New Zealand this week, only this time he actually got into the ring with a real boxer.

Fast becoming known as one of golf’s fiercest rivalries, the #BouncevsHazard match moved onto the tranquil Eye of Africa Golf and Residential Estate this month for match 8.
Unbeaten in 2013, #TeamHazard’s captain Dan Nicholl was looking to stretch the 4 ½ to 2 ½ lead further into his favour. Naturally #TeamBounce’s optimistic captain Ben Karpinski had other ideas.
There are four Majors in golf, and the one being played this week, the US Open, is generally considered the toughest. The rough is evil, the fairways are tight and the greens are simply treacherous.
The best golfers in the world are assembled to battle with these elements and some wet conditions this week, so here’s all you need to know.
As we find new and exciting ways to spice up your sports life here on TheBounce, you will find new and unique content being introduced in the next few weeks. One such feature we are really excited about is the #BounceCartoon. And here’s our first one!
