When I took up golf about 5 years ago, it was my way to get out of the house and get some fresh air. I had always admired the game, but never understood it or had a chance to play much (except during my stay in Kuala Lumpur for project work). Years of playing cricket meant I had some basic hand-eye coordination, but all the wrong type of muscle memory. If at that time someone had told me that I would be in contention to be the Brand ambassador of a golf club manufacturer, I would PMSLing..
Over the past 5 years, I have played a few courses and cut my handicap and been active in the Golfing media. I have come to love the game and my son is getting into it. Last month, Benross ran a competition to look for a Brand Ambassador via their ‘Be the Face of Benross’. As a middle aged hack, I had little chance of it, but then I tossed my name into the cap and lo and behold, I am in the shortlist of 15!!!
The next round is via Facebook voting. As some of the other competitors are young & digital savvy millennial, I was expecting they would walk all over the rest of us. So it is good to see, that my family and friends (and their family and friends) have helped me get to a respectable position on the leaderboard.
Polling closes on 2nd March 2015, so if you read this post prior to that, do vote for me for being the Face of Benross I need votes to finish in the top 5 and qualify for the finals. The voting is via Facebook and it would be great if you can vote for me by hitting ‘Like’ on my photo on the Benross Facebook page. Click on the link http://on.fb.me/1zlc9ie and hit Like.. Simple. Should take less than 5 seconds and anyone can vote.
