Once again this year, we had the opportunity to sponsor the medals for the BUNDESLIGA GOLF CUP final at GolfPark Leipzig Seehausen. And of course, we did not want to miss the chance to be there ourselves.
Golf and networking simply go very well together at an event like this. And by now, we can safely say: Golf at LASERVORM has become much more than just a sponsorship topic.
What started last year with the spontaneous idea “Maybe we should pick up a golf club ourselves sometime ...” suddenly became quite serious at the beginning of this year.
Luckily, we have a colleague on our team who is already a very good golfer. Together with his wife, he represented LASERVORM at the final – and even secured 3rd place in his category.
Congratulations once again!
And that very same colleague is also partly responsible for the fact that our sales and marketing teams now regularly spend time on the golf course as well. Two vouchers for a golf proficiency course were the starting point – and since April, we have been practising together at least once a week: putting, pitching, tee shots and playing our first holes. In sunshine, wind and, of course, rain.
We were not quite ready to take part in the tournament ourselves this year, but we certainly made it onto the practice course. And even there, golf turned out to be a great way to combine sport with some valuable conversations.
And yes – a short break at the halfway stand with a glass of rosé is part of the experience too.
But it was not only on the golf course that a certain competitive spirit emerged.
When it came to designing the medals, we quickly started asking ourselves: Can we make them look even better this year?
It was the perfect opportunity to put our new Cleaner through its paces. In addition to cleaning, the system can also be used for marking and creating different surface effects. So the sponsorship project also became a practical internal application test for our laser technology.
And that is exactly what makes this project so valuable to us:
New contacts, a great opportunity to showcase our capabilities in laser system engineering, practical testing of a new machine – and, at the same time, something that has brought our team together outside of work as well.
When colleagues spend their evenings on the golf course together, practising, laughing and motivating each other, that is a pretty great side effect of a sponsorship.
Many thanks to the BUNDESLIGA GOLF CUP team for a great weekend and many good conversations!
