David Frost
a talent for golf and a passion for fine wine
Unlike many athletes or celebrities who lend
their name to a brand, David Frost and his
family have been in the wine business in South
Africa for over 60 years. His father's vineyard
was the first place he hit balls and the pocket
money he made from picking grapes, funded his
first set of clubs and an on going supply of
balls. In 1994 the tradition of vineyards in the
family continued when David bought a 300-acre
Vineyard in the Paarl wine region where he
produced his first 3,000 cases of Cabernet
Sauvignon in 1997.
Sharing his two greatest passions, wine and
golf, with his native country, David feels very
strongly about supporting a foundation that does
such a great job of instilling education and
life skills into the youth of South Africa. The
Raymond Ackerman Golf Academy aims for their
students to achieve academic success and mature
into respected young adults as well as to become
competent and enthusiastic golfers. For every
bottle of David Frost Wines sold, a R1 donation
is given to the Raymond Ackerman Golf
Academy
While busy winning over 30 tournaments worldwide
and recording the PGA Tour's lowest putting
total ever, his passion for wine has never been
far from his heart. Joining the PGA Tour in 1984
David quickly rose to elite status, leading the
Tour in scoring average (70.09) in 1987 and was
number 1 in putting in 1993 and 2001. While
compiling 10 PGA Tour championships including
the 1989 World Series of Golf and 1993 Canadian
Open plus 12 international titles over an
illustrious professional career.
