Deloitte Ladies Open: BMW 6 Series Coupe for ace on 16th hole
The Deloitte Ladies Open is going to start from June 1-3, at Golfclub Broekpolder Rotterdam, Netherlands, with a BMW 6 Series Coupe on display for a player who shoots a hole-in-one on the 16th hole.
According to the tournament officials, the attractive prize will help create interest in the much-hyped event. They said that the BMW 6 Series Coupe, which is planned to be given to the player who makes a hole-in-one, is worth 90,350 euros.
When asked why the Deloitte Ladies Open is offering a car for a hole-in-one, officials said that this practice has been in place since the last edition of the tournament.
Last year, it was Frances Bondad from Australia, who walked away with a BMW 640i Convertible after draining an ace.
Analysts said that in an event that is offering a whopping €250,000 purse, the huge prize for a player who makes an ace will provide additional excitement for both, players and fans.
They said that it will not be easy for players to make a hole-in-one on the 16th hole, as it features multiple challenges, with the tricky bunkers on the green. Aussie Bondad is in the field of the 2012 Deloitte Ladies Open, and will try to repeat what she
did on year back.
Deloitte Ladies Open Tournament Director, Liz Weima said while talking to the media that the prize for ace is definitely going to make the tournament livelier. He appreciated the role of BMW, saying the cooperation between the LET (Ladies European Tour)
and the company will flourish in the coming years.
“We are delighted that BMW's involvement with women's golf, and in particular the Deloitte Ladies Open, again this year. A hole-in-one prize of this calibre has a positive attraction to the players. This moves the Deloitte Ladies Open into the top segment
of the international golf circuit," Weima said.
On the other hand, BMW officials also expressed their hope that the company will keep serving the general customers as well as golf. An official from BMW Netherlands, Diederik Reitsma, said that the whole company's management is glad to work with the Deloitte
Ladies Open once again.
“We are delighted once again to be connected to the Deloitte Ladies Open. The dynamism and force that the BMW 6 Series Coupe exudes fits nicely with this golf tournament. Hopefully we will again give away a car," Reitsma said.
