Attended by the who’s who in the industry, all players were eagerly awaiting tee-off to not only show off their green prowess while enjoying a day out of office, but most importantly, to fight for the title as “Best Overall Team” out of the Western Cape HVAC industry.
The 17 four-balls tee’d off at 12:00 – luckily with the weather playing along as the previous day as well as the morning of the event saw cold and wet weather conditions almost halt proceedings. Thankfully, that did not dampen the spirits of all participating players, and the poor weather subsided, allowing some players the opportunity to quickly get in some green practice before tee-off.
With nothing being able to cool down the enthusiasm of players, and all the jostling for the honours of best team of the day, wet greens and a prevailing wind made the tournament just that much more exciting and challenging. Thanks to the valued sponsors, the four drinks holes saw just as much action and enthusiasm with players taking the opportunity to network over a cold refreshment.
A quick splash-and-dash halfway house stop and off went the players again in the battle for the top position.
After all teams had made their final putt for the day, well-deserved refreshment and networking continued in earnest. The enthusiasm also did not stop there as all players eagerly awaited the final results at prize giving – with many calling the victory early but the final results gave the first place team of the day to AERSA Apollo Air, with each player winning a portable air conditioning unit curtesy of Metraclark.
Congratulations to all the players who made the event possible and one of the most memorable in years.
