We love playing golf!
Jannie got married to his top-student in Varsity in 1994 – Tertia! Tertia was a provincial hockey-player and Jannie played rugby on a provincial level for a number of years.
As seasons change – people change. They both come from families that loved physical activity. After tennis, rugby, hockey, running etc… golf became their favorite activity – and they do it together! They are both healthy and fit, yet (after many years of actively playing sport on a competitive level) the body starts to have some aches and pains… Walking 18 holes with a cart becomes a challenge on top of the game itself.
Tertia is a Biokineticist and Jannie a Mental Coach (Sport Psychologist). He worked with the Blue Bulls rugby team from 2006 to 2010, with the Golden Lions rugby team from 2015 to 2019 and with the Orlando Pirates football team from 2018 to 2020. Jannie is also a motivational speaker and author of a number of books on parenting and mental toughness.
They were looking for something portable and affordable as a game of golf (for the both of them) including a golf-cart became an expensive endeavor.
They were considering many options – of course the most obvious one was to buy their own second-hand golf-cart and make it personal. The reality of having to have a parking space as well as a trailer kept them from committing to this.
During the Covid-lock-down period in 2020 Jannie (who loves building and fixing stuff) used his time to explore and test a brand new idea! A Portable golf scooter! Something that could fit in the boot of our car (two of them), is easy to assemble and is practical on the golf-course. They “bit the bullet” and bought two powerful 60 Volt, 2000 Watt scooters – built for pleasure and fun. It had to be converted into a proper and powerful-enough golf-scooter! Mold after mold, idea after idea…. eventually it all came together! The Putter Portable Golf scooter came to life. They started playing twice a week…. Because it was quick and fun and they teed off before the field! Games after game small alterations were made. The end-result is astonishing – almost too easy and too much fun! The Putter Portable Golf Scooter has been built and tested by a golfer for golfers. It will change your experience of golf forever!
