Porsche Golf Circle Gathers Momentum

Golf Community Brings Successful Year to a Close and Prepares to Meet a Masters Champion

-

Very much at home in the world, but even more so on the golf course, the Porsche Golf Circle has, in its first year of existence, developed into a popular meeting place for golf-loving Porsche customers from all over the world, and therefore into a success story with a highly promising future. In autumn 2017, a symbolic tee off in Portugal marked not only the internatio­nal, appbased community’s start in the digital world but also the start of unique event trips. One led the exclusive circle of customers to the spectacula­r Abama Golf Resort in Tenerife. 72 members from 11 nations was proof of the high degree of acceptance that this golf community has gained in a short period of time. The

next highlight, a practice session with the Masters Champion Patrick Reed scheduled for the start of 2019, is already waiting in the wings.

A tournament at the Abama Golf Course, golf clinics with the PGA pros Frank Adamowicz, Torsten Giedeon and Craig West as well as memorable culinary excursions brought an eventful first year for the golfing community to a close. “Our members travel to our events from so many countries and the atmosphere is excellent right from the start. Everybody speaks the same language of golf. It really does make the Porsche Golf Circle something special,” says Sandra Siegloch, the head of the Porsche community management team.

In 2018, community members were present at the Porsche European Open on Hamburg’s doorstep and the prestigiou­s Ryder Cup in Paris where they twice experience­d the crème de la crème of golf. Thanks to such highlights, the Porsche Golf Circle has quickly increased in size to over 1,600 members. The hope is for the momentum to continue into 2019, where, in as early as February, 18 members will have the opportunit­y to be a part of a special golf trip where they will personally get to rub shoulders with a reigning major champion.

“Meet the Masters Champion Patrick Reed” will take the participan­ts to Houston, Texas where the 2018 Masters winner, will let his guests in on some world class tips in individual practice sessions. “I can’t wait to meet the Porsche Golf Circle members,” said the expectant Reed. “It’ll be an unforgetta­ble experience for us all.”

Any Porsche customer can become a member of the Porsche Golf Circle by downloadin­g an app for both Android and IOS. Members can then network with other Porsche golfers in the community. Additional­ly, there is a wide range of informatio­n about Porsche and golf, including exciting insights, tips and stories relating to the community. Members also regularly get to meet up at top internatio­nal events.
