As always we shall take a look back at the latest event on The European Tour. This week that means a return to the East London Golf Club for a review of the Africa Open.

Whilst in the Eastern Cape ETW caught up with young South African George Coetzee. Turning professional in 2007 George won the Vodacom Origins of Golf in his rookie season on the Sunshine Tour before going on to win twice more in 2008. He won his first European Tour card by finishing 21st at the Qualifying School-Final Stage at PGA Catalunya Resort in December 2009.

In a special feature ETW visited the stunning city of Florence where sixteen professional players competed in a unique event, hitting golf balls off the Ponte Vecchio bridge to island greens floating on the river Arno. Whilst there ETW spoke to Robert Karlsson, a regular visitor who was still toasting his success from the DUBAI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP presented by DP World.

Together with all of the latest news and statistics from the Tour this completes another edition of European Tour Weekly.
