and only twenty twe the Magician, the boy with a
lot of flight. I am a classic man.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Man.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Am I so happy to be here today because seven
days have already passed since I engaged with you guys,
and I have to tell you the last conversation was
spot on. It was hot man. I have to give
a big ups to our previous guest, Jason Row. Jason Row,
I mean he gave us insights when it comes to

(01:11):
the latest tech and equipment and now how necessary or
how imperative fittings are, whether you're professional, whether you're an amateur,
whether you just want to test the waters, when it
comes to golf. He gave us a lot of insight.
And here we are. It's a new week. It's a Wednesday.
For some people, the weekend is starting today. For some

(01:35):
it is only beginning. So let me just start off
by saying, ladies and gentlemen, today we are joined by
a guest, and she is an expert when it comes
to events management, events planning. So the biggest thing around
the golf course that people don't understand or something that
really really consumes a lot of time and energy is

(01:56):
planning a golf day, and our guest today will be
giving tips on how to make sure that God they
is a success. So, ladies and gentlemen, without any feather
or you, please allow me the opportunity to introduce our
guests for today, Nana Jobe. Hello, Nana, I'm gootting yourself.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
I'm all right.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Awesome stuff. Awesome Nana. Let me just start off by
saying thank you, thank you, thank you for making time
to join us, and a big thank you though to
your loved ones, your colleagues, and everyone around you who
allowed you the opportunity to actually share this moment with us. Right,
I try to introduce you, But I don't think I

(02:45):
did just this, man. I mean, you know, I would
actually prefer you reintroducing yourself to the audience. Let them
know who you are and how you stumbled across gold
Saw over to you.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Thank you Tony, and thank you guys for having me today.
You know, I always find it difficult and people to
tell who I am and where I'm from and how
did I get Yes, but yeah, I'm just a girlman.
My name is Nana Job, and I'm from just in

(03:24):
a very small town in Catherence and who happened to
end up in job work for some reason, trying to
make life. And then I happened to be in the
golf industry as my first job and I was away.
So funny enough when I started in the golf industry

(03:45):
and I fell in love with it for some reasons.
When I coat here, I worked for m Park Golf Clubs,
which was the biggest club at that time. When I
arrived days and I was I was fascinated, you know,
being that person who really gets fascinated about stuff. So

(04:08):
when I worked for the club, I always wanted to
do beyond then what I was hired for. Yeah, I
will offer my services to learn other departments, and I
ended up really been in a club for a very
long time, which I think it was around seven years,

(04:29):
and that's when I got my patient.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
For gold Lovely. And I have to say, I mean,
it's not a lot of people who would actually extend
themselves to learn about other things, especially I mean for
some people it would be a new environment and it's
scary at times. I mean getting into a world that's

(04:53):
mainly dominated by men and affluent men, and you know,
sometimes people's energies rap off badly. But for you to
actually say, you know what, I am going to stick
it and I'm going to go the extra mile to
make sure that I put myself out there and I
learned as much as I could with god Father, I
think it shows a lot of bravery. So currently, Nana,

(05:20):
I mean, sure you've been in the in this industry
for quite some time or what what been around.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Being around And at that time, I was still young man.
I was still coming up from you know, your college life,
your pasity life. I was still still yeah, And I
remember when I left home, I didn't know why I
was coming to job work. I just wanted to work.
And at that time, when I got the job, I

(05:52):
was just looking around and I didn't have a specific
energy to say, you know what, I'm going to look
for golf in the street. By the way, I'm coming
from the rural areas, which I had no absolutely idea
about golf. When you tell people about golf, they will
be like, why do I hit the poll.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
And follow it?

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I didn't make sense at that time. And when I
realized because of the experience and because of the person,
and I became in love with the whole situation, and
I realized, no, man, there's more into it. It's people
that you meet, it's you know, it's it's a lot
that really got me wanting to invest.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
In it, you know, and I mean just for interest sake.
Do you also play golf or do you.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Just an amateur?

Speaker 5 (06:45):
But I play golf, of course there for a woman,
my handicap doesn't look so bad. But each and every day,
the new day, we're trying. You know, golf can be
very personal at time. When you fell today, tomorrow you
come with a different energy and you want to do

(07:05):
better than yesterday. So I'm still growing. I'm still growing,
and I hope that for us women, we we tend
to look at it differently one day so that we
have you can attest to that that we don't have
much women that are playing golf and math. So I hope,

(07:28):
I hope I can get to the chat someday. Well.
Not something that I do constantly, but I do it
because I need to understand to connect the puzzle with
my work so that everything makes sense.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
No one, and you know what continue pace viewing and
also figure corner if I can put it in simpletons,
because I believe that golf is more like your profession.
The more you keep doing what you do best is
the more you become better read it.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
So Nana, we want to know, man, A lot of
people are trying to understand the planning, the organization, the
management of golf day, how much work it goes goes
into it, because you know, many times we think a

(08:26):
man just book a golf course and then get players,
and people don't really look at the other administrative things
as well as the management of the entire day as
a whole to say how much stress it actually puts
on one. So with you being in that particular field
and understanding it more intricate than our listeners or our

(08:50):
audience and for those who actually would like to explore
that as a career option. I mean, sometimes we don't
know what we want to do or where we want
to find ourselves. So hearing someone speaking of something, it
can actually trigger something in you and say, you know
what I want to be just like Nana.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah. I also think that you really need to understand
the spot and also understand the type of niche that
you're dealing with. And really there's nothing much and complicated.
You just need to know what you're doing. And on
top of it, I think that creativity around golf will

(09:34):
make if you if you're taking golf as your career
or maybe as an organizer or you want to you know,
make it make sense. There's creativity around God, you need
to be really really creative. As much as organizing have
so much work, there is so much work, Like you

(09:54):
don't make up tomorrow and say, you know what this weekend,
I just want to have a gold day, you know,
I know players and let me just gather them and
we go, we go to go. A day is the
court to go, you know?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
It takes roughly three months to do the planning if
you're fit enough otherwise it's more than that. Usually usually
it takes like six weeks together the whole situation. Remember
in that because when you are out of from my experience,
when I get golf gigs or maybe I do different

(10:29):
golf days, so it would be like your social gold day,
it would be like your networking will be like your
business corporate gold day. But mostly I'm so fonder for
fundraising golf days for some reasons and because I am
attached to different homes that I usually give back to,
So I do a lot of charity gold days than

(10:51):
just corporate golf day. So it takes you to know
who do you need to approach for that certain reason
why you're doing it fund raising, and then it takes
you to know, okay, this is the target, this is
this charity, maybe stay Home wants to achieve the setting goal.

(11:11):
And then how do I become an impact and who
do I think that can really put a hand in
this and make this happen. It really takes a lot
of thinking, a lot of planning, and also you need
to have your project planning correctly because otherwise your gothe
on a day will be a mess. I'm talking about

(11:32):
your registration I'm talking about you during the day, I'm
talking about your priceising. It's a lot, it's a lot.
But I think that when you get the right team
and you get the people that really understand, because it's
not really a large If you will get the team
that really understand what needs to be done, they will

(11:53):
just get it done and make your players happy because
then there's no confusion when people are doing whatever they
need to do on the day. But the whole blenning
it just needs you to be on your toes and
make sure that you get the right people to participate

(12:13):
on that day.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
And I would also presume that time is very vital
when it comes to such events, because obviously around the
golf course, time management is one of the main factors.
Players are constantly being reminded of time and not delaying
the court. So if I may just ask, like if
you were to say it from the top of your head,

(12:37):
to say, how many people would actually be required in
a team to organize a successful, fulfilled golf day.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Three months?

Speaker 2 (12:54):
So, like.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
You mean people to play on the.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
At gold the organizing team or the organizing committee.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Oh, the organizing team. No, you don't really need to
have a big team.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Hey you need.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yo, let me see. Maybe a team of eight.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Okay, no, it's not it's not too bad, it's not bad.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, maybe a team of eight that really knows what
they're doing. A five is balanced, A five is balanced. However,
remember also when you do your planning. That's another thing.
If you really want to get to it's not a
selfish career, you can't. You can't do it alone.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
One thing for sure.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
As much as you want to build your business and
you want to make it work, and some are somehow
you call for some some you call someone for reference,
because you will need a hand. It's a lot to
deal with as one person. And I'm talking about dealing
with responsors. You can just imagine. Let's say I'm having

(14:05):
ten sponsors on a day. If I'm doing it alone,
I still have like ten people to deal.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
With me alone.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
I still have players talking about one hundreds and forty four,
two hundreds and sixty a full real. Yeah, you know
it's a lot. So really you will have to get
a hand, say somehow.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
That's true, that's true, And I just want to find out.
I mean, you mentioned that, you know what, From a
time point of view, three months would be enough to
actually set up and go up there and make sure
that everything is in order before the actual day. But
in those three months, what would you say is the

(14:46):
most intricate exercise that one has to go through. Would
it be the course itself itself? Or is it a
matter of the what do you call the players?

Speaker 6 (15:04):
I think every birth day, because according to the personage,
I have a client or somebody that says, when I look,
I want to do a good gad this is what
I want to do, a goal grate for networking, and
this is my type of business. Remember when this person
comes to me, it comes to me as a person

(15:26):
rather a player, or that there is a gold player
who doesn't really nothing at all about organizing a world ate,
and or it's just somebody who knows but don't know
where to go, you know. And so you look at
those and say, okay, this is a knowledge or this

(15:48):
is the information that I have got so far, and
how do I then navigate?

Speaker 4 (15:52):
You know?

Speaker 5 (15:54):
And then you go back to structure, because I mean
that's also very important, so that to come out.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
And then.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
Sometimes it's finding players, he says. Then the three is large,
it's large in a way. Then depends on once you
want to achieve, right, So you will have people that
are saying, okay, I have players, don't worry about players,

(16:31):
but then how do I make this day accessive? Then
you have to be creative in a way to.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Say your players, because one thing for sure is that
most of the people in the industry knows each other.
So you know this person, Okay, this is the type
of persons, so definitely his type of people that are
like best people. So how do I then make this
day a very fun day for him so that he thinks, oh,

(16:58):
he feels like he's having a sux is for golf day.
So you look at things like that, so you come
up with, you know, creativity in between the things that
needs to be done on a golf day. It could
be during the price giving, it could be things that
are done and the type of responsors that you approach,
because when I get clients sometimes I still have to

(17:21):
go back and find the sponsors for them so that
they achieve their setting goal. Maybe his goal will be
like you know what, I'm not fundraising anything. I'm paying
for the full thing, but I just want to build
a more connection for my business. So you look at

(17:42):
that person's business and you see, okay, this person is
connected to certain business and satin business and Gobret can
invite those type of people and see if they will
be interested into joining that type of you know, caliber
and the whole golf day.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, this is your special team. Now, I'll presume you
you are in houting, right. What I want to find
out is that obviously this is your forte. You specialize
in managing and organizing golf days. Now, I just want
to find out, presuming that you are based in houting,

(18:19):
do you also assist individuals or entities outside of houting
when it comes to organizing these golf days? And if so,
do you take your team with or do you find
people that you can actually compile a team within those
respective areas?

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
I do have quite a few golf days outside of Jogak,
which is also mainly in yeah and which is also.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Which is my hometown, and I do a lot of those.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
Sometimes I take my team with depending on how it
looks like and what type of the golf day. We
didn't need a bigger team. Can it be hindered or
it's just a group that wants to be played and
that wants to play and it wants and they don't
need much to be done, so it really depends. However,

(19:19):
this year we're really looking into going bigger.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
As I said before that golf because it's a.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
Seasonal sports also and if you're fully doing it, you
need to be creative in any other case, so we're
looking into having out of the country tournaments. I'm busy
with the confirmations. We're looking into do talent in October,

(19:50):
which is one of the biggest achievements for me this
year and I'm really looking forward to it.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Can you take me with Nana? I want to go
to Thailand.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Be my guest.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Be my guest lovely. I'll make sure that I put
in my my five cents with and help you with
the organization or whatever that you need.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
I would really love it. And also I'm still learning.
I think these things. Some of the stuff you don't
know until you get there. I've never done anything abroad.
It's going to be my first time. I don't even
know what I'm doing as much as I didn't know
what I was doing when.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
I was startying this business. So we'll cross that bridge
when we get there.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
So I'm not fussy about it, and your two cents
can really make millions out of it, So I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Mind, Amandela. I'm coming through. I'm going to Thailand with you.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
No.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
The reason I'm basically asking is because obviously, on my end, yes,
I've been playing golf for for decades now, and on
top of that, I keep on learning as well, every
single day, so I believe it's It's one of those
things where the learning cave doesn't end you. You will
learn from even people who just got into the sport itself.

(21:11):
They will teach you a thing or two.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
Yes, yes, I'll tell you for free.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
I'm ver a Google fumble.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Not so long ago, and it was hot, maybe even
worse than I kept and saying no one's sucker and
this sport.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Is not for me. I'm so I do it, and
for some reasons, you.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
Know, I'm very angry when i look at my scorings
on the handicap system and I'm like, what is this?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
You know, but it makes sense.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
It's really a personal thing.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
When you are you are passionate about it until you
make you until you come right at.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
The end of the day.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
You must come right hundred percent. And I mean it
only makes sense if it's too hot. I wouldn't expect
anyone to play to the best level. I mean, for instance, myself,
I only play when it's loudly. When it's hot, I
don't say I play. I say no, I'm passing time.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
If it's what let's rather do a morning fools. If
you let me started eleven thirty, oh boy, going to
be crampy the whole time. It's gonna be a long day,
I promise you, and I will tell you that you
robbed me. That's not what I scored day. Yeah, because
I'm angry at myself.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Now, I just want to find out none. So obviously,
in business there's challenges. Right If you were to share
from your experience as to what are the two or
three major challenges that one faces in this golf day

(22:47):
coordination environment or golf day planning environment, what would you
say are those big, big challenges?

Speaker 5 (22:57):
I will tell you because it's one of the challenges
that I'm rather facing or recently faced, which I was
not up for because sometimes, as I said earlier, that
when you pina go day, there's this period of time
that consume your time, the time that you would have
used for something else or maybe organized something else. If

(23:22):
rather typical reason that maybe a client comes back to
you and say, you know what, okay, let me let
me make it a very.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Very an example that would really make sense.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Right, my client that I was supposed to do a
golf Day four in December last year's density because their
date was clashing with.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
The Network Golf Challenge.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
However, that means I'm not able to run around and
get enough sponsors from my client because most of the
sponsors are at the net Bank, right, or most or
rather most of the players are at the net Bank
in Sun City, right, So that makes it logically the day.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Is no longer.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
It's not successful because it's either you get people that
really won't compromise to be at your goljate because they
are your friends, or you get a random person that
really didn't want it to go to some you know,
so you're still not meeting the numbers anyway, you know,

(24:43):
And the client comes back to me and said, no,
I will have to have to push this to next
day March. Guess what does what does that? What what
does that do to me? That means I have lost
three months.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Of my time?

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Then I would have call to create another gold Dare
or another event in the midst That's true. You know,
it could have been out of job back rather so
that I know, I'm dealing with Devin. That doesn't happen
it challenge. You get me and this client, I can't.
I can't really do much what the client wants. The

(25:21):
client wants, you know, but it compromises me as a
person that runs a business because then I'm collapsing in
the and and in the situation that the money that
I could have potentially made at that time, you know,
is now due to match December.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
I'm hungry because I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
No, no, no, definitely makes sense. Definitely pay sure and
and and and I mean, just you you you do
come across such. But I mean the most important thing
is bouncing back to say, how do I then overcome this?

(26:09):
How do I come back from this mishap or this oversight? Because,
like you said, if the if a client insists on something,
you go out of your way to actually make sure
that they receive that service or they receive what they want.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
I think, I think the main thing that you need
to do is to be open minded with such. I
think everybody that is in a business they know they are.
They are challenges or possibilities you know, yeah that could
that they could face according to the type of the
business that they're running. I think the only thing that
you could do for yourself at that time when that

(26:50):
incident happens, you stay, come, You stay focused, because otherwise
you lose focus in terms of then but in terms
of how to then deal with the client, because according
to you, its client's fault, right, But it's reality when
you look at the business structure, it's reality. So I

(27:14):
think you need to stay, come, still, provide the good
services and and know what you're doing, because the moment
you shift from your your structures or the way that
you do your business, you're already losing the positivity of
how the clients looks at you, because you can snap

(27:35):
if you want and be like, you know what, I'm
not doing this fans some man pants, you know, But
remember this client is the same client, especially with the
type of.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
This business that we're doing. In goal this, I'll tell
you for free.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Most of my clients that I have done golf day
is fault all golfers.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Hey, Nana, I have had that you did whose whole
you know? Golf day.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Look, I'm trying to do you that's how you get
your business. So the moment just snapped. That means there's
there's no golf day next month or the next three months.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Very true.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
So because your.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
Golf day will make you see new new five clients
that you have never met before, six sponsors that you
have never dealt with on your previous golf day. So
just focus, stay in your lane, do what you do best,
and give what your clients went.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
And you know, when you spoke about reality, I something
came to my mind to say, Okay, I mean, now,
like you said, there's certain things that are outside our control. Now,
one of those factors being the weather itself. I mean,
I'll presume that you you can plan an amazing, amazing

(28:55):
event and uh suddenly there's thunder, and as we know,
you can really play when they're standard. So what then
happens in the midst of that? How do we then
go about it? Do we reschedule? Do what do we
do in that kind of instance?

Speaker 5 (29:12):
I think that then comes to the coordinator, the organizer,
and the club itself, so that really it happens and
it's nature.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
You can't really beat yourself about it.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
It's just the communication that you need to speak with
the club and say, look, this is what happens.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Can we reschedule our gold date? Then you'll tell us when.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
It's your availability or available date that we can, you know,
schedule our gold day for So those type of things
are problems, but problems that you can maneuver around. And
sometimes the tricky part is that if I'm having one
hundreds and forty four players.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Today, which is a full field, and I risk you
I might end.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Up with eighty players, you must be open minded about
it because then that doesn't mean hundred and forty four
people are available on Friday just because they didn't play.
People run businesses in this career, in this industry.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Unfortunately, it's a tough one.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
I know, it's a very I don't know.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
That's why when I tell people about golf, really I
start by.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Breathing and say I don't know, because really I don't know.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Yeah, it's a lot going on here, It's a lot
going on.

Speaker 2 (30:41):

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I don't know. Thanks Tony, welcome back and thank you
for steing with us. No, no, we are in the
second segment of our episode today and you know, I
just want to take it a notch up. I mean,
we we've discussed the aspect of event organizing and like
you said, it's one one world that will make you

(32:54):
take numerous breadths before you can even talk about it. Now,
let's talk about this this lovely, ugly addiction that we have,
which is the sport itself, all right, right, So I mean,

(33:17):
like like I said earlier, it's one it's one world
that has been predominantly dominated by men over time, and
it's it's very beautiful to actually see women emerging and
not just the go off us, but doing business around
the golf course or even uh incorporating golf into that

(33:38):
business life. So that includes you obviously. Now I want
to find out. I mean, you are an expect when
it comes to organizing golf days. And I'm sure you've
played with numerous people from your client client base, don't
don't they ever? Like like like you said, you're not
the best of golfers, but you know you're surviving just

(34:01):
like me. Don't they ever look at you and be like,
but no, no, this is what you do every day.
You're supposed to be like the best when it comes
to this thing.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Nah, And I will tell you for free.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Remember there's less women in golf, so most of the
time it's either I'm playing with fifteen men in the
same school, I'm playing with four men in my phoobo
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
The case could be.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
And guess what, I'm the one that gets the softest
treatment to the course, more more than anyone, you know.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
And sometimes I'll tell take your time, you know, it's.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
I think that's that's the only part that makes me
go back and try again.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
You know, I would not get mark.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
My friends and the people that I know in the industry,
they're doing so well, well done, they're doing so great,
and that's what we need because I was firstly, I
remember last yesterday and this guy not yesterday, on Friday
last week when I was playing houting explaining with some

(35:11):
because you mean, new people every time, and this guy
says to me, Nana, don't hit so hard to take
your time, and and literally he was just whispering. It
wasn't a football story that needed to be discussed, you know, no,
you know, and and and because I tried so hard
to hit when I was driving that driver, and those

(35:33):
guys said to me, you know what, it's not a competition.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Take your breath forget about you know.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
Yeah, and and and and guess what had passed? And it's.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Because somebody.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
There's somebody, there's somebody that is telling me nicely, you know.
And and and mind you you have this challenge of
how I'm playing with men. You can tell when the
men hit their drive it's strong. It's it makes the sound,
you know. So now as a woman, when you heat,
you'll be like nothing strong. We need my development dulla

(36:09):
that day because you want a compuy and make sure
that whatever they name there on their small lagy prize
giving during the table day on on the halfway house
or whatever your name is day, because you can't be
beatty is a strong even though we met.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
So it's always the challenge.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
But the nicer part about it is that even though
we play with men that really knows golf, but they
will always tell us the right things, you know.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
So it's not a competition.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
We're not competing with men, but rather we saying, oh,
I wish I can be the first woman that brings
more women in this thing.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
It's quite nice. That's how we feel all the time.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
And I think that that's one of the most important
thing to say. You know what, As a woman who's
already enjoying golf and UH has seen the benefits of
golf both from a personal and a professional point of view,
I believe it's only fair to say, you know what,
let me bring in other people. Maybe someone can also

(37:14):
see certain opportunities within this industry and UH that that
could change their lives as well.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
Mm hmm true that.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Now, no, no, here, here's here's the golden question that
I have for you. Right, so you're in houting, you
played houting, you got your babies and your past, so
you were on fire on Friday. Now look at how thing.
Then let's look at home ground a case. Right if

(37:48):
if if you went to pick a place you you
can play a corner on a on a weekly basis,
which one would.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Because you are testing me, I feel like you're testing
me golf clubs and care phenomena. I will tell you
this for free. I think also it's because.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
It's around the court.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
You know, my number one course out of all the
courses that I played, I think I've played five or six.
I think my number one in number two, my number
one in number two, which is opposite according to the map,
but it's still in case. It's my Princess Grant.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Princess Grant is my my is my number one.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
And then for some reasons, because I was still new
in the golf industry.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
And I like the idea of driving a golf cut and.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
You know, I and I hit a tree that that
was very close to someone's house, and I was the
golf cut was literally in the window of the dining
room of the house. But well, the whole number sixteen
Princess Grands is also perfect.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
I love Princess Grinds. And my second, which that I'm
going to play.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
This see sometime for a third time and I think
it's coming to it's becoming My first is Gourri Firm.
I love Gorifer. Can play garlfarm Is in Midlands. I
can play Golly Firm any day, every day.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
But I mean the Midlands, I mean the view the
landscape day is phenomenal. It's phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, it's really I like it.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I love to play in such an environment.

Speaker 5 (39:38):
And I know right, you know right, it's quite very interesting.
But the golf course days it's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
I love it day as much as amateur. But I
have you know, I have a good eye when it
comes to such Zimballey also is a nice course. A
number of difficults, but yeah, it's it's it's nice. Don't
come out with good schools there, and I wouldn't say
much about but I know the course and I've played

(40:08):
it before.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Like you said, you know, you know, if there's anything
nice about golfers around the coast is that there's certain
holes you can actually have a view of the ocean
and you can hear I know, right, I know no,
But but I'm upset that there's there's nothing outing that

(40:33):
has actually caught your attention that much. I thought you
were going to say something about houting.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Maybe I have a heart for Reint Park because because
rain Park groomed me, by the way, and I'm the
baby of rain Park.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
And funny enough, I don't play rain Park much.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
And but when you ask me about fire throne. I
will tell you that I already know when you asked
me to come and play with you that I'm not
going to have.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
The good day because the tree is there. Amen. I
also like I think I like partving for some reasons.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
He always challenges me, Glendower, I almost lost my eye there,
so so clean. Now when you tear off on your
tent right before the lake, which is closer to the

(41:40):
whole day, and there's trees on your right and side,
I think, and that tree is not far from the
bridge or the lake, so it's either you hit over
or you hit closer to the bridge.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
So I think my positioning I need to mean.

Speaker 5 (41:59):
But I'm soft girl, so you can tell me. Sometimes
it's salty and it doesn't come as I'm saying. I mean,
how much I'm phoning to a soft girl?

Speaker 4 (42:08):
Can you keep it like that? I love golf and
I'm passionate about and it's business for me.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
But I'm still a soft girl under circumstances, you know.
And when I hit that ball, it went straight in
between the trees that are closer to the bridge. So
for some reason, I was trying to be Tiger Woo's
wife and see if I can make things happen, you know.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
And when I hit the ball, oh, it waits for me.
It was madness.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
It was madness, and I thought the sound of the thing.
Luckily I was wearing glasses, right, So.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
I'm playing with three guys. I'm the only girl I beach.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
During there if not when I hit the ball, because
I was hoping that I'm gonna hit it lower so
that it goes straight over, you know, to the cream.
When I hit the thing, the sound of it, the
sound of the tree. Forget about the sound of my classes.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
The sound of the.

Speaker 5 (43:21):
Tree sounded like I'm coming back for you and you're
gonna die today. So when it came back, it hits
just on the edge of the classes, you know, where
you're I don't know what they call this thing, Yeah,
the frame off, but there's also your chin bone on
that on that thing.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
So it hit on top.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
And it sounded, and the guys were silent. There was
a moment of silence because they firstally wanted to see.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
How am I reacting?

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (44:00):
And am I responding to the noise?

Speaker 2 (44:03):
You know?

Speaker 5 (44:04):
Sure, even though it hit on my cheeks? But am
I okay? Because anything could be could be, could be broken.
It's sounded like something was broken, but it was classic.
And I hold my face and I put my head
down because my head was done for some reasons.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
But still it wasn't that up.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
So that's why it hit at the edge of the cheek,
just at the edge. And I had this guy that
I was playing with it and said, are you okay?
And I said, yeah, you know, now I'm doing a
nice when you're writing, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
And I was pleading. I was pleading. But thank you
to the classes that I was wearing.

Speaker 5 (44:55):
I'll mentioned that brand when when I'm a millionaire, said look,
this friend saved my life.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
But yeah, and I went back to the camphouse and
guess what.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
I came back very upset and I wanted to play
the back nine so sober.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
It wasn't. It wasn't. I was sullen.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
I'm bleeding a little bit, but it wasn't anything that
says you can't play. But I was doomed for some reasons.
I was feeling funny, you.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Know, isn't.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
But I got checked. There was an r whatever, but
I got checked and got checked.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about that.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
And I went off gold for two months.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
Because every time when you tell me about any cause
that has trees, A'm traumatized.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
I can imagine I would also be even I would
be like, you know what, I only play like your
goals at least, but.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
At least I've got a story to tell. It was
very I mean traumatized.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry about that. Even even for
those who witnessed that. It must have done something to
them to say, you know what.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
They never played with me again, by.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
The way, I couldn't.

Speaker 5 (46:23):
It couldn't be actually having a game sometime end of
this month, but the elevation.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
But I hope it's not the same.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
Cause no, definitely, no, it's not the same.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Not that I'm not that.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
I'm That was my last time I played that course.
I would love to go back there, to go back
to that course again. They even gave me a voucher.
I still have that vouche to go in experience.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
But traumatized, Yeah, you need you need counseling after such
an experience.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
I think so, I think so, I think no, no, no, no,
that's it's nice to understand, But you know, I still
don't think it's an embarrassing moment that you've had on
the golf No.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
No, Techinitely, I don't feel embarrassed myself.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
Like I mean, I mean who I am? Who I am?

Speaker 5 (47:15):
There's better people who play golf, and they come with
serious injuries and people it.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
Couldn't have been well.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
I wouldn't say I was hit by my own balls,
but I was hit by my own bowls. But there
are people who you know how it is when the
field is slow and people will start hitting and you still.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
And you get hit somewhere somehow.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
And there's a guy that I know that really was
in a bad situation in December because someone hit them
with the ball and they were behind them and the
field was slow.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
So I mean, it's one of those things that happens
in golf, and unfortunately I can't.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
You know, you can't give up based on you know.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
I can't unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
All right, So tell me, Nana, your your most celebrated
moment on the golf course. Where and when was this
and what happened?

Speaker 4 (48:17):
You want to go.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
Celebrated moment the court was last year? I think it
was last year June when I played in a golf
day at King's Trophy there's a golf day called called
King's Trophy, and for some reasons, I worked with King's

(48:43):
Trophy from time to time at some point because I've
been in different clubs and so I know, you know,
most of the golf days that I could possibly attend.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
So I played in that golf day.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
And it was.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
Not last year, I think the other year.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
It was my first time winning something in a golf day.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
No, it's even fun yet.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
There was my first time winning something in a golf
day specific, not just normal groups or social clubs that
we play.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
In a golf day.

Speaker 5 (49:23):
And in that golf day, I won the longest Day
and my gift was a yoga master. Okay, okay, So
you guys are saying, because you have had a long
day and you behave like you were drum day, you
might as well just.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
But you know what, at least they recognized I.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Did hold that bottle with confidence because I knew what
happened there. It wasn't a good day at all, but yeah,
at least my name was they for longest day in
a coffee.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
No, but I mean it makes a difference. It cheers
you up. I mean I've had days like those where
sometimes I even feel like, you know what, let me
just pick this ball up and go back and sit
at the halfway house, or just get into my car
and drive away. So for them to recognize you for that,
I have to give them a big ups. And for

(50:24):
you to actually receive it with that confidence and uh,
with that mindset, it basically shows that you know what
you've got. Good sportsmanship number one and number two you
you you love the spots so much that regardless of
how long your day is, you your passive and you
go out to share what you came for. No, no, no,

(50:48):
that's that's awesome stuff. Now. Now, now we are reaching
the end of our segment today and it has been
amazing to have a chat with you. That's not number
one much the insight that you've shared with myself as
well as the audience. It's not for sake, if I
can put that way. I believe that you come by wisdom,

(51:13):
you come by experience. Those are things that you gain
over time, and for you to actually share such with
us in an open space like this, also even your
experiences around the golf course in such an open space,
I have to take my head out to you and
I still need to hold you to the Thailand golf day.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
I'm going there, definitely. I'll drop your detail. Sometimes I
just need.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
To polish my golf as well. I don't want to
find myself swimming.

Speaker 5 (51:52):
I've never been in Thailan myself, so it's gonna be
a very interesting Jenny.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
And I think that.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
Well through the through what they have sold me, it
really looks scared.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
It's one of those that you.

Speaker 5 (52:08):
Would really I would want to have you, you know,
longest day, as long.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
As you're in the islands.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Some places you just don't want to leave you, like
you know what. Let me delay as much as I
can delay enjoying myself around.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
Yes, you can be like on you or whatever.

Speaker 5 (52:29):
Hold in black No, guys, thanks, I'm picking up because
you have those moments.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
I'm picking up. I'll pick up three holes in a road, black.

Speaker 5 (52:38):
Bill thinks. But you know, I don't mind to pick
up in talent, so I'll pick ups if.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
I want to.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
As long as I'm not in South Africa, I wouldn't mind.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
No, no, no, we know that because in splendid condition.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
No, definitely, And I think also I've recently seen how
how how it looks. I think this also the holy
timing makes it even better. Of courses are really looking good.
They're really looking good.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
And we also have to give a big thank you
to all golfers, whether they're social, whether they're professional, for
actually treating all these golf courses with respect. Number one,
number ten, give a big thanks to everyone who pitches
up to their respective golf events golf days with the

(53:36):
utmost respect of the game and the utmost respect for
the organizers.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
Yeah, it's not it's not an easy job, believe me.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
And and you deal with a lot of different characters.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
And you know, somebody.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
Said, yeah, I don't know who I'm playing with, but
I know what they're playing in ten fifty FA. Yeah, somewhere, somehow,
somewhere that needs things to be done, and you really
need to get it done because this same person might
be annoying you about Nana, I want a gold day
that's coming, you know, and you really have.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
To be grounded somewhere somehow. Doesn't matter.

Speaker 5 (54:22):
It doesn't matter because the same person can give you
the biggest doll in your life that you never you
never thought of and.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
And for some reason then it's it's challenges that we.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
Face in different courses depending what type of clients that
we bring into them. You know, it's challenging and and
min you some of the golf courses, those those those
clients are the people that sits in the board and
makes the golf courses run, you know, so that people
don't know who they are.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Yeah, no, no, no, awesome stuff. Have to say once again,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone
around you who's allowed you to go through this conversation
with me. I am I'm highly honored and I look

(55:18):
forward to I believe will be will be playing one
of these days. I believe we will be playing one
of these days, but it definitely won't be len. I'll
make sure that lets vouch to you.

Speaker 4 (55:32):
You know, I need to go big. Who knows?

Speaker 2 (55:36):
No, I don't think you're ready yet. Let's go.

Speaker 5 (55:39):
Maybe I can shocking our flames, say don't take me.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Maybe I can show our flames and like remember when
you did me dirty last time.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
That's a championship, cause you know, even the product.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
Is the championship. Cause I don't I don't play like that.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
But it has been absolutely lovely chatting to you. And
may you have a pleaceful Yeah, may you have a
great successful year. Let the guilds come through. Let's do

(56:30):
Let's let's put let's put you on the international map,

funny that Greenland is covered in ice, then let it be.
But let's do it.

Appreciate it, appreciate it. All right, thank you, Thank you

Thank you so much. Nana, you must have yourself a
lovely night.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
Thank you so much. All right, bye.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Bye, So ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. This
is the end of ours segment today, and it has
been quite an insightful conversation that I've had with none
of whom is a golf event organizer. I mean she
mentioned that she does this on a daily basis, and

(57:25):
it's not just based in houting. I mean she's breaking
international markets, going all the way to Thailand to do
the same. So big ups to her, and big ups
to everyone who keeps on supporting golf. Everyone who keeps
on bringing new golfers into the space. Everyone who keeps
on supporting golf premn neals, whether it be equipment, whether

(57:47):
it be a parallel, whether it be organization, or the
food around the golf course. I would say big ups
to everyone who supports anything that goes around golf. With
that being said, ladies and gentlemen, is my cue to say,
Tomorrow is Thursday, Friday is approaching. But please don't ever

(58:11):
quote me and say that I said the weekend has
officially started. My weekend has officially started. For those who
are going to work tomorrow, please make sure that you
wake up elie, you get to work on time, and
then when you get there, make sure that you put
your phone on the side, you open the latest tournament

(58:31):
that's taking place while you're waking. And then on Friday,
please do make sure that you play the best golf
of your life. With that being said, ladies and gentlemen,
this is the one and only Tony Tone, the Magician,
the ball with a lot of flair. I am a
classic man, and this is Balls and Teas the only
place you will ever ever ever ever hear about the

(58:52):
ins and out of golf worldwide. This is the place
to be the magicians.

Speaker 5 (59:00):
Two seven set s
