NEWSLETTER no.3 Amsterdam Golf 2008

2007/12/20 - In this newsletter we are pleased to inform you about the activities Holland Golf Events is undertaking in preparation for Amsterdam Golf 2008

Amsterdam Golf Award 2008
Last time the organisers decided that the award went to the world champion team of the Dutch amateur golfers, this time the public should assist them with this choice. From mid January a list of nominees will be made public, composed by Jan Kees van der Velden (golf reporter/Golf Media), Jeroen Stevens (NGF, the Dutch Golf Association) and Hans Ruggenberg (journalist/De Telegraaf), and everyone can vote online for their favourite candidate.


Support by PR-agency
Also this year the young agency Smith Communicatie will support us with PR and press matters. Last October they organized their successful second Strandgolf Open along the boulevard of Scheveningen. In a short period Smith Communicatie is specialized in the golfing scene.


Advertising in specials is godsend…
Holland Golf Events bought from as well daily newspaper De Telegraaf as from Golfmedia (magazines) advertisement possibilities in specials around Amsterdam Golf 2008. Also companies who do not attend the event can use the attractive advertising offers on the condition that it is in line with the content of the specials. Please contact the organiser for further inquiries.

Crew AG2008 sponsored by Tenson
The crew of Amsterdam Golf is very happy that Tenson will supply the shirts to wear during the event.


Forty companies, six matches, one winner…
They played fourball-betterball, the four best scores determined the final classification. The final was played at the beautiful course of Eindhoven, where the Amsterdam Golf team, consisting of Arthur Beerendonk (hcp 11,7) and Marie-Jose van der Klift (hcp 16,4) won the Golfers Magazine Business Competition 2007. For the five preceding matches they invited fellow-players Wouter Jager (Koga Miyata), Steven van Daal (Indoor Sport Systemen), Gerda Eggenkamp (Twinnhills/HAI BV), Edwin Braker (Laerdal) and Paul Rijpkema (De Telegraaf), which they want to thank once more for their dedicated support.


Entertainment and activities
It will be busy once again at the show court, with a large enthousiast audience on the stands. This time Joost Hage will perform the Telegraaf Trick Show with many newly developed tricks, but also demonstrations and contest are to be expected here on the syntetic grass of Greenfields.
Visitors can play on the various simulators and compete for the Longest Drive and the Neary, but just watching this is also great fun.


Kids Course
Warm welcome again to the young golfers, up to age 16 admittance is free.
At the weekend kids can hit the ball for the very first time, or just show what they have already learned so far. On the Kids Course they have their own driving range, a simulator and the games of Fun factory, all accompanied by professionals affiliated by NGF and PGA Holland.

We are still busy developing more exiting activities for our visitors.
