EVENT: DP World Tour – BMW International Open 2022
Golfclub München Eichenried, Munich, Germany
This week we’ve been at the Golfclub München Eichenried in Munich, Germany for DP World Tour’s BMW International Open 2022. During the week we had 4 pairs of golfers take part in the ‘DP World Scalextric Challenge’ including:
– Ewen Ferguson
– Connor Syme
– Justin Walters
– Ryan Fox
– Richard Mansell
– Lucas Bjerregaard
– Jorge Campillo
– Fabrizio Zanotti
The golfers had 8 laps to practice, then they took part in an 8 lap race to find out who the overall ‘DP World Scalextric Challenge champion would be’.
Alongside the Scalextric Challenge we also ran our traditional ’Fastest Lap’ competition board.
Where our standard Scalextric track was set up the views were amazing. We overlooked the huge practice putting green and the massive prancing chipping green, as well as the 10th hole green. There was a pro-am competition running that day, so there was lots of clapping and cheering coming from the 10th.
There was a lot of fun had by everyone involved over the last few days; we think the filming crew had just as much fun as the golfers did when we were setting up. Sports people are known to be very competitive, and these golfers definitely didn’t disappoint.
We were asked not only to supply a standard Scalextric setup for this event but they asked for a heavily branded and bespoke layout to depict what the client did. So we designed a custom one-off driving range, golf hole, DP World containers plus the one off DP World clear container filled with golf balls.
