Career

In 1960 Cor du Buy emigrated to Australia, returned to the Netherlands in 1963 and worked there as a national coach for two years.

After the war, his brother Jaap took a share in the company. This was sold in 1979 and filed for bankruptcy in 1981. Cor du Buy later ran the De Bedriegertjes tennis school with his sons .
