After work in good company, they flush the sticks
Since we felt whimsical April weather in March, golfers also started playing a new season of playing on Slovenian playgrounds a little later than usual. Thus, the well -established series of After Job 9 tournaments began this year only in mid -April, when the founder Gregor Vehovec and a recent co -owner of this brand Jure Podgoršek prepared the first meeting of recreational golfers.

As can be seen from the name, instead of the usual 18 holes in these tournaments, which are on the afternoon on working days, participants play golf on nine holes. This shortens the game time by half, which is acceptable for anyone who arrives directly from work for recreation. Time is just an essential factor in golf. “The cradle of the after Job 9 is the playground of the GK Trnovo, there we started tournaments on Tuesdays. The primary purpose was to connect players of all ages and knowledge, and, among other things, this is an entry point for tournament golf for many beginners. This is also an opportunity to improve the golf hendicepa, which is a measure of players’ knowledge, and it is especially attractive to socialize in tournaments, where each time we provide attractive and practical rewards, « said Vehovec’s basic mission of this sports project.

From Trnovo, the After Job 9 tournaments soon became domesticated at the playgrounds in Smlednik and Otočec and Ptuj. Tuesday afternoons are traditionally reserved for Trnovo, this year they will weave sticks in Ptuj and occasionally in Otočec, on Thursdays the golfers will check their skills at the Cubo Golf Smlednik, where they opened this season this season « We have created a circle of permanent business partners over the years, and we are expecting new ones. Together with sponsors, we can upgrade the organization of tournaments and offer an even better accompanying program with awards. In September last year, we had a record visit, with as many as 109 players playing in the tournament in Trnovo. After Job 9 is becoming increasingly popular, I hope that they will soon decide on the playground on the playground of Amon Olimje and in Lipica, « Vehovec reveals.

As we wrote, the new impetus was contributed by Dejan Podgoršek, who recently became director and manager of the CUBO Golf Resort Smlednik in cooperation with 1912 Hotels from Hamburg, Germany. This is primarily a better program on the Cubo Course and encourages other golf centers in Slovenia to upgrade their offer. Of course, this requires a lot of dedication, since the golf community in Slovenia is not exactly massive. According to information from the Golf Association of Slovenia, about 5,000 golfers are registered in our country, and our country is not mainly recognized for golf tourism for foreign visitors except for players from neighboring countries. The AFTER JOB 9 project is definitely a great promotion of golf for all generations. It also grows organically with the help of enthusiastic members of the supporters, in the so -called Eagle Membership Boštjan Kralj, Marko Rotter, Slavi Suklan Umek, Alenka Remec Peterc, Vojko vocabulary and Bojan Muravec.
