Tim Stenhoff, his son Nicholas, Ricardo Vergotini, and Craig Poulton reflect on a par 3 golf challenge at the President Hotel in Cape Town, sponsored by John Deere. They praise the event's format and the chance to play with family and friends.
Hi, my name is Tim Stenhoff. I'm from Johannesburg Country Club and we're here at the President Hotel in Cape Town. Yeah, we've been looking forward to this for the last three weeks since we qualified to play with my son who Nick, who's 14, is fun and we always believe in just enjoying what we do. Obviously, it's nice to be competitive, but to also enjoy and go out there and play golf in this beautiful environment that we have. It's a new, innovative format to golf as you know, you have to evolve or you die. And, yeah, in 2020, I would definitely invite friends. Father son combination is really awesome. I'm Nicholas Sternof and I'm from Joburg Country Club. I love playing with my dad because he gives me a lot of experience and we have a lot of fun and he always helps me with my swing tips, putting, and it's awesome playing with him. My name is Ricardo Vergotini. I'm from Goodwood, Cape Town, South Africa. Fantastic event, brilliant initiative. I think it's going to do wonders to the game itself. Really enjoyed it and being the first one itself. So, yeah, looking forward to wines coming in the future as well. I think it's a brilliant initiative. I mean, you can actually do so much with it. Golf days is one thing, but I mean this because of how quickly you go through it, you can actually get through a number of this in a day. So, I mean, as a corporate event, it's a brilliant initiative. So I'd honestly try and put the word out there and tell as much people or golfers that I play with about the experience that I've had was excellent. Excellent.
What an incredible experience we've had. We would like to thank Ronnebash. Providing fantastic facilities. The course played brilliantly. In all, a fantastic event. And the fact that John Deere actually brought it to South Africa is amazing. And you cannot actually believe the prize that they do have for an hour's worth of golf. Very intense, adrenaline, rushing stuff. And we're so happy that they brought it.
I'm Craig Poulton from Mobro Golf Club. I'm one of the winners of the John Deere Par 3 challenge. I had a fantastic time. The first time that we've seen it, the first time we've been part of it. And to be a winner and to be privileged to hear this John Deere Classic, I'm really looking forward to the prize. But more than that, just meeting new people, being part of an event that has been exceptionally well run and the condition of the golf course and just meeting people from jobing and local people. Wow. What more can a person ask for? So, John Deere, thank you very much for your sponsorship. And I hope that this thing grows from strength to strength and that you will be able to increase your sales and your visibility within South Africa, within the golfing community. Thank you.
