WARSTEINER NIGHT GOLF CHALLENGE
Warsteiner has taken golf and transformed it into a night-time event. Held on 7 June, the Warsteiner Night Golf Challenge was a truly unique occasion. For one night only, we transformed the Amsterdamse Bos Park into a specially designed par-3 golf course. The participants played on holes stunningly lit by LED lights, using glow-in-the-dark golf balls. Warsteiner organised this special event in the run-up to the KLM Open, which will be held this year from 11 to 14 September. As official sponsor, Warsteiner is aiming to bring golf to a wider audience with a host of innovative and exhilarating activities.
In addition to representatives from different golf clubs, an array of former top athletes and Dutch celebrities also took part, including Gerald Sibon (ex-footballer), Take Takema (ex-hockey player), Barbara Barend (sportscaster) and Frits Barend (presenter). Footballing legend Richard Witschge was the only one of the 60 participants who managed to hit the ball from the course onto a floating green in the water. The deserving winner of this one-off night golf event was Arjan Gerretsen.
His prize is one of the coveted Warsteiner Pro-Am spots at the KLM Open, where he will team up with a golf pro from the European Tour to play nine holes against other Pro-Am teams.
Our photographer was on hand to capture this unique night. Check out some colourful shots of the event below.
