Lexus Polokwane sales manager, Marthinus Beukes, announced that the tournament will be a monthly event held on the first Wednesday of the month.
“Most people that attended the challenge were businesspeople, but I am very happy that we had such a big turn-out of golfers in the province that came to support the challenge. We are looking forward to hosting another one,” said Beukes.
Apart from focusing more attention on the Lexus vehicles available, the challenge was also organised with the aim of giving back to the community and Lexus customers.
The Lexus NX200t, one of the latest models available was on display at the event and definitely turned a few heads.
“The NX200t is going boldly forward like no crossover before it. The first ever NX combines design, intuitive technology and a potent turbocharged engine to take on whatever urban adventure comes your way,” said Beukes.
