Speaker 2: Medisa is, what's happening in your space, and for the
Speaker 2: most let's get an understanding of how you got into
Speaker 2: this beautiful, addictive spot that a lot of people are
Speaker 2: actually suffering from. I think this is the best addiction
Speaker 2: that people are suffering from. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: share the same sentiments as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I do definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like I said, good evening to you, Tony and the listeners. Look, guys,
Speaker 4: you guys have been doing a great job. I think
Speaker 4: the podcast has been going on for a few years
Speaker 4: now and I've been following you guys, and I see
Speaker 4: that you're growing. Well done.
Speaker 5: And keep up the good work, right.
Speaker 4: It's a bit of thing from me. My name is
Speaker 4: Bonolo Modisa, you know, boy from northwest and small door
Speaker 4: Pe called Leo Gourd and stunt in the Kinnet Counter district. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's where I'm from. I'm a father of three. I'm
Speaker 4: married to my high school sweet out over the last
Speaker 4: seventeen years. And my professional I'm an accountant. I studied
Speaker 4: as an accountant and practiced. Later in life, I joined
Speaker 4: the banking industry and I've been a transaction banker for
Speaker 4: the last few few years now working for one of
Speaker 4: the I think the Luggers Bank by Aces and Velu
Speaker 4: in Africa, and I look after corporate clients in the
Speaker 4: mining and metal sector. So that's what I do as
Speaker 4: a profession on a day to day. Of course, as
Speaker 4: you mentioned, I'm an avid golfer.
Speaker 5: I love the sports.
Speaker 4: I'm like a dictate that to say, you know, I
Speaker 4: make sure that I to around or two in a
Speaker 4: week and I've got.
Speaker 5: A few clubs that I play with.
Speaker 4: So I've been a consistent golfer since around twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5: But before that, I mean a bit of history.
Speaker 4: I got introduced to golf very early in life, I
Speaker 4: think in my mid teens when I was back home,
Speaker 4: there used to be a small municipal course and we
Speaker 4: started off by almost like maining the greens or maining
Speaker 4: the hole. So they used to have these oiled sand
Speaker 4: greens and not your class greens, but they used to
Speaker 4: oil scand so you needed a small boy or someone
Speaker 4: to actually look after that green person when golfers come
Speaker 4: through the on part, but someone had to scrape that
Speaker 4: oil scent so that the next four ball comes in
Speaker 4: and they fund the green in a good condition. So yeah,
Speaker 4: that's why I got introduced. You could say that that
Speaker 4: was my first job, actually my first paying job. I
Speaker 4: got paid two rents which was still in a banknote
Speaker 4: back in the night. Yeah, and I moved on to
Speaker 4: become a carry in my teens, but not really knowing
Speaker 4: what I was doing. The main job was just to
Speaker 4: carry it back and look for the ball. Forward a
Speaker 4: few years later when I was seeing Joe back around
Speaker 4: twenty and seven and eight, and the company I worked
Speaker 4: for at that time had an excursion to go to
Speaker 4: to the Bula and that's why I got in opportunity
Speaker 4: to buy my first set of clubs. My beginner set
Speaker 4: and went on to try the sports out. You know,
Speaker 4: you know, coming back, I never really had people to
Speaker 4: play with. I used to play like one or two
Speaker 4: rounds a year, not even a round, just going to
Speaker 4: Fetchfield or you know, cent churlon golf Village to get
Speaker 4: some balls. But the Buck, the Buck beat me in
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen where I found you know, I actually buged
Speaker 4: to convence some of my friends to say, guys, don't
Speaker 4: you want to just start the sports. Let's let's start playing.
Speaker 4: That's for my four ball and just playing regularly. And
Speaker 4: ever since then, you know, and you know some of
Speaker 4: the guys, you know, cops rum by a flank, so
Speaker 4: do the guy that we started playing with twenty seventeen
Speaker 4: or so, and we even from my golf club is
Speaker 4: still in existence today called golf parties out of that
Speaker 4: passion and ever since my guy, like I said, I've
Speaker 4: got a few clubs that I play with, maybe about
Speaker 4: three or four group of good guys that have played
Speaker 4: very different, diverse groups of guys, and I'm loving it.
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful spot. I can never play playing golf
Speaker 4: for anything.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, but all I have to say that's
Speaker 2: very colorful for you to say that you were you
Speaker 2: started off by actually maning the greens and it wasn't
Speaker 2: really a green. It was all said Like you said,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how many golfers. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know how many people actually right now, I
Speaker 2: understand what you're talking about because many times, you know,
Speaker 2: especially people in our communities, they just used to normal
Speaker 2: greens on the golf course. So for you to have
Speaker 2: started engaging with the spot at such a young age
Speaker 2: and before it started being revolutionalized up until the time
Speaker 2: that you actually started playing, which, like you said, around
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Now, I want to find out from you
Speaker 2: on that day when it comes to you mentioned that
Speaker 2: you used to go to since you're in gold village
Speaker 2: of the field, to hit a couple of boss once
Speaker 2: in a while. Since you started playing, have you consulted
Speaker 2: with a professional coach or was it something that you
Speaker 2: just picked up from all the years that you were
Speaker 2: a caading or all the years that you were exposed
Speaker 2: to golfers in the golf course.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Look, Tony.
Speaker 4: Golf is a very difficult sport, right, So I realized,
Speaker 4: you know, while I used to go to the range
Speaker 4: on my own and doing stuff, hitting balls, and I
Speaker 4: realized that actually, you know, when you start on the
Speaker 4: wrong footing and you do the wrong things, it's very
Speaker 4: difficult for you to reverse that. So I had to
Speaker 4: consult the coach. I saw one coach at the World
Speaker 4: of Golf, it would meet. They gave me a few lessons.
Speaker 4: I've done a few lessons with songs of dig golf
Speaker 4: at Kaiaalami. You know, it's a very good coach and
Speaker 4: a very good friend of mine. So I had to
Speaker 4: go and make sure that I fixed a couple of things.
Speaker 4: I understand why the ball is, you know, shanking or hooking,
Speaker 4: What is the difference between a shank and a faith
Speaker 4: or who can draw those types of things? And I
Speaker 4: guess it's very important that you get someone who can
Speaker 4: guide you with a lot of basics. Golf has got
Speaker 4: so many things. I mean, you think tending on top
Speaker 4: of the ball and hitting it as simple as that,
Speaker 4: but there's so many things that you got to take
Speaker 4: into account. How you hold the club, your grip, the stunds,
Speaker 4: how you got a ground, your feet, what happens with
Speaker 4: your hips and your shoulders, your hands. It's a very
Speaker 4: complex spot. So I would advise anyone, and when I
Speaker 4: speak to you golfers beginners, I would I always advise
Speaker 4: them to say, look, get a coach, get a few lessons,
Speaker 4: go hit the balls at the rench, becomemfortable, and don't
Speaker 4: rush to get onto the court, because many of us,
Speaker 4: we we ended up rushing to get onto the costs.
Speaker 4: And when you're playing a on a on an open
Speaker 4: course where other players are playing who may be advanced
Speaker 4: and moments sure than you, it CAUs a frustration for
Speaker 4: some of those players to say you delay the field
Speaker 4: and you don't know the rules. So I would say,
Speaker 4: for me, it was very important that I consult with
Speaker 4: a professional and I get to know how you know,
Speaker 4: what is what is the rules, how to play the balls,
Speaker 4: whether in any type of condition. And I also have
Speaker 4: to make sure that when I get my clubs after
Speaker 4: my beginner set, I get proper clubs, you know, which
Speaker 4: are fitted to my own capability and not just any other.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I really like the fact that you mentioned that golf
Speaker 2: has so many aspects to it. I mean, you spoke
Speaker 2: about rules, you spoke about hooks, drawers, fades, shanks. Now
Speaker 2: I want to understand when it comes to your own
Speaker 2: personal game. I mean there's there's the long game, there's
Speaker 2: the there's the cheaping, there's the party. Which one would
Speaker 2: you classify as one that you regularly work on? And
Speaker 2: why is it that you're constantly working on this particular
Speaker 2: aspect of your game?
Speaker 4: Look, yeah, so you you know there's a saying that nothing.
Speaker 4: I mean, all of these aspects never work altogether in
Speaker 4: sing at the same time, right, So sometimes you're driving
Speaker 4: well but you're taking bad, but you can't part.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: So for me, look, I think one thing that I
Speaker 4: muster is just getting off the tea.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: My driver is working. I had to get a new
Speaker 4: driver which is really working well most of the time.
Speaker 4: I can't say all the time, right, but most of
Speaker 4: the time the driver is working. I've got distance that
Speaker 4: is descent. If it's not played, you know, you find
Speaker 4: yourself in the woods. But I mean things like getting
Speaker 4: ladies of the tea, those are things of the past.
Speaker 4: I don't struggle from that. I think we we always
Speaker 4: look forward to getting ladies strings from the gents.
Speaker 5: You know, we know that people struggle.
Speaker 4: So for me, the two things that I would say,
Speaker 4: I always well and I need to start working on
Speaker 4: I always think I should, but I don't think I
Speaker 4: dedicate enough time. It's partting and and just the approach
Speaker 4: shats and when you're talking a post Shaws, you're talking
Speaker 4: your iron play right from you know, whether you're talking
Speaker 4: five six seventy nine around those you know, all of
Speaker 4: those highs and and and chipping is doing work. Chipping
Speaker 4: is just like my driving. I don't really struggle that much.
Speaker 4: Of course, we do have off days when nothing is working.
Speaker 4: But for me, if I can get my iron play,
Speaker 4: and if I can spend a lot of time and
Speaker 4: go back to a professional on just on how to
Speaker 4: play my eyes and how to part I mean patting
Speaker 4: on his own has got so many things, you know,
Speaker 4: things like the lie. You know, if you can uphel
Speaker 4: downhill part way the way, the green sloping house, the
Speaker 4: grass is it well cut? Is there greens firm or soft?
Speaker 4: So all of those things really you need to consider
Speaker 4: them as you are lighting up your part. And I
Speaker 4: think for me, if you don't do, if you don't part, well, that's.
Speaker 5: Why you lose your strokes. Right, you can get onto the.
Speaker 4: Green in regulation and you can chip well get out
Speaker 4: of the bankers. But if you can't part and you
Speaker 4: end up prepartting for partying, that's really it really kills
Speaker 4: your game. And I mean, if you, if I look
Speaker 4: at my golf, I've been playing for so many years,
Speaker 4: I've never I've never broken eighty. I've got one eagle.
Speaker 4: So I've been playing a lot of eighties eighty once.
Speaker 4: My games is generally around eighties, eighty nine, eighty five,
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of n.
Speaker 5: Two and fives as well, right, And.
Speaker 4: I think if you, if you when you plan your goal,
Speaker 4: you gotta think of what is it that is critical
Speaker 4: for me to cut down strokes, you know, move me
Speaker 4: from eighty to seventy nine, And that's very important. You
Speaker 4: have to on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know when you're speaking about scoring,
Speaker 2: I mean, it just triggers something in my mind because
Speaker 2: I actually wanted to ask you a question to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: I mean, you've played for so long, you understand your weaknesses,
Speaker 2: you understand your strengths on the golf course. But now
Speaker 2: when it comes to measuring your progress in relation to
Speaker 2: where you come from and where you'd like to see yourself.
Speaker 2: Obviously as social golf, as a lot of people would say, listen,
Speaker 2: I do not see myself turning into the pro, but
Speaker 2: I just enjoy the company that I have with all
Speaker 2: the other go offers around me. Now, how do you
Speaker 2: then personally measure your your progress? Will it be based
Speaker 2: on your score? Would it be based on your handicap?
Speaker 2: Would you basic maybe on the friendship, the relationships that
Speaker 2: you home.
Speaker 3: I'm on the golf course.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, so golfs it encompasses a whole lot of things, right.
Speaker 4: It talks to the game itself, how you play, and
Speaker 4: everyone wants to play good. Everyone wants to play well.
Speaker 4: And I think for me, you know the fact that
Speaker 4: over the years I managed to move my handicap from
Speaker 4: the twenties to you know, the mid teens, around fourteen fourteen,
Speaker 4: and now my handicap is sitting and I say that
Speaker 4: I'm nine point three and it's offering between nine and ten,
Speaker 4: you know, ten point five, nine point five, That's where
Speaker 4: I'm currently sitting and comfortably. But it takes time, you know,
Speaker 4: and and golf has know. Therefore, right, you play a
Speaker 4: few breath rounds, you find yourself sitting with a twelve
Speaker 4: thirteen handicap, and you have to work.
Speaker 5: Back and do that.
Speaker 4: So for me, playing well on the course right is
Speaker 4: very important. That's how I feel like I'm making progress.
Speaker 4: But you mentioned something around the company you keep the
Speaker 4: people that you play with, right. I play with many
Speaker 4: people from different backgrounds and I enjoy just interacting with people,
Speaker 4: you know, knowing people and just building relations with people,
Speaker 4: whether it's friends or it's business associates or clients. And
Speaker 4: that's what I enjoy, right. And you would know the
Speaker 4: amount of time and the fund that people have with
Speaker 4: the nineteen hour to say that that's where you get
Speaker 4: to relax and obviously there's a lot of benter that
Speaker 4: goes in that was on there.
Speaker 5: But it's always fun, you know.
Speaker 4: Uh, and golf is golf, you know, every after every
Speaker 4: round you feel like I want to come back, I
Speaker 4: want to work on this and that and you look
Speaker 4: forward to the next round. So that's how it has
Speaker 4: been for me over a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Awesome stuff, you know. You know, I like the fact
Speaker 2: that you mentioned the nineteenth hole. You mentioned people from
Speaker 2: different backgrounds as well, because the one thing I would
Speaker 2: like to understand for your site that the say, especially
Speaker 2: for those who are new to the sport or for
Speaker 2: those who are looking to get into the spot. Is
Speaker 2: just to give us a description of saying, what would
Speaker 2: you say is your perfect day on the golf course? Obviously,
Speaker 2: like you said, some days things just don't work out.
Speaker 2: And even if things that don't don't work out, the
Speaker 2: company is still there, the nineteenth hole is still there's
Speaker 2: something else who could just be working us. So on
Speaker 2: your end, if your golf is not going on that day,
Speaker 2: would you say is your Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Or would you say, you know what?
Speaker 2: Regardless of how I'm playing, I look forward to engaging
Speaker 2: with more and more people and then just maintaining this
Speaker 2: whole bad day into something great.
Speaker 4: Execut We all know as golfers you don't always have,
Speaker 4: you know, a good round of golf, but you have
Speaker 4: to look at the bigger picture and realize that the
Speaker 4: sport is way more than just u scoring good right,
Speaker 4: So you will have your days when you're struggling to
Speaker 4: even make one power, But I mean engaging with people
Speaker 4: and having fun. And you know, we always forget to
Speaker 4: have fun on the course. We are hard on ourselves
Speaker 4: and we must always remember that we are not close.
Speaker 4: We are to have fun and and golf being as
Speaker 4: brutal and honest as a spot. It reminds you all
Speaker 4: the time that listen, you are not in control here right.
Speaker 4: Anything can affect you, whether it thought or on whatever,
Speaker 4: a call or an email coming in, or you think
Speaker 4: your web or you think you whatever that that that
Speaker 4: could distribut at that moment. So the idea is that
Speaker 4: when you're on the course, enjoy, enjoy the nature, enjoy
Speaker 4: the company that you are with, whether it's familiar people
Speaker 4: that you play you always play with, or sometimes you
Speaker 4: play with new people that you're meeting for the first time.
Speaker 4: You allow yourself to enjoy the company, get to know
Speaker 4: those people. And also you be that person that people
Speaker 4: will always remember to say, little the kind guy that
Speaker 4: we met and he's a good guy, solid guy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And don't don't be that guy who's always swearing at yourself,
Speaker 4: but let alone other people yourself. You know, you know,
Speaker 4: you know the joke that says, how do you know
Speaker 4: there's a bad goal for the course. You would always
Speaker 4: hear them them calling their names and certain there themselves. Molissa,
Speaker 4: you you idiot, Melissa, You that you have to live
Speaker 4: it to all of that. And and golf is golf
Speaker 4: is more than just you know, technical, technical and physical,
Speaker 4: it's it's also mental, right, and you have to have
Speaker 4: the right mindset, be positive and take every stroke, you know,
Speaker 4: every shot forget about your mythhaps with the previous hold
Speaker 4: or the previous shot, and just enjoy looking for you know,
Speaker 4: looking forward to just having a relaxed time with the guys.
Speaker 4: Whether you want or a trophy, it doesn't matter. You know,
Speaker 4: you had a good day on the course.
Speaker 3: No, one hundred percent notica.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you to please allow us to
Speaker 2: past for about three minutes, and then when we get back,
Speaker 2: we're just going to delve deeper into this conversation because
Speaker 2: I can hear the excitement that you actually have in
Speaker 2: your voice when you're speaking of golf and you're thinking
Speaker 2: of so many things to say.
Speaker 3: You know, this man just asked me what's my perfect day?
Speaker 2: I mean, it could be the shot, it could be
Speaker 2: the shot in the nineteenth, it could be.
Speaker 3: The conversation with other people.
Speaker 2: So I would actually like us to delve deeper into
Speaker 2: this conversation after a two minute break, and then yeah,
Speaker 2: let's let's discuss how you then marry the two worlds,
Speaker 2: your two worlds, which is your work environment as well
Speaker 2: as the golf because a lot of people would presumably
Speaker 2: say that the biggest boatroom in the world is on
Speaker 2: the golf course. So I also want to get your
Speaker 2: inputs around that to say, hell, has it been like
Speaker 2: that for you? Or is golf so different legsing for you?
Speaker 2: All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's go for that two
Speaker 2: minute break, and then when we come back, we will
Speaker 2: be delving deeper into the conversation. Please make sure that
Speaker 2: you go and refiel that five ten liter ice cold
Speaker 2: back out of water, because listen, guys, you can hear
Speaker 2: that the will say is enjoying his time with us,
Speaker 2: and we are also having fun. I mean this man here,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know, he plays golf religiously, yes,
Speaker 2: he said once or twice, but he doesn't mind playing
Speaker 2: today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow as long
Speaker 2: as the company around him is what he's looking for
Speaker 2: at the time. So let's go for the two minute break,
Speaker 2: and then when we come back, we will be engaging
Speaker 2: more with mester.
Speaker 3: Nobody said.

Speaker 4: Magician.
Speaker 2: Alright, ladies and gentlemen, you're still tuned into the one
Speaker 2: and Only Balls and Teas. Like I said, this is
Speaker 2: the last episode for the year twenty twenty five, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Making sure that it's placing hot because.
Speaker 2: I've got the one and only Banola MUDs as my guest.
Speaker 2: And you know, this conversation is just you know, it's
Speaker 2: been slowly building up.
Speaker 3: Now the temperature is one hundred and fifty degrees. We
Speaker 3: are about to get to three hundred degrees. It's melting degrees.
Speaker 2: I hope you have that backup of water with you
Speaker 2: because you're about to sweat. So let me not waste
Speaker 2: any more time and then let me work out. Mister
Speaker 2: Medisa back on the line, mister Medissa.
Speaker 4: That's Tony. I'm still here, my guy.
Speaker 2: Awesome stuff, Awesome stuff I really appreciate. So before it
Speaker 2: went on the break, you we spoke about your perfect
Speaker 2: day on the golf course, right, So I just want
Speaker 2: to do a follow up on there to say, obviously, listen,
Speaker 2: you mentioned that you are a transactional banker and you
Speaker 2: are an accountant by professional way, which basically means that
Speaker 2: you're very analytical when it comes to doing whatever you
Speaker 2: do in your space.
Speaker 3: Now when it comes to your role or your yeah,
Speaker 3: when it.
Speaker 2: Comes to your role as a transactional banker, relationship building
Speaker 2: I believe is very key. And like I said before
Speaker 2: the break, a lot of people always say that the
Speaker 2: golf course is the biggest boadroom there is in the world.
Speaker 2: I have heard a lot of people saying that they're
Speaker 2: closing deals on the golf course and all these things.
Speaker 3: Now, I just.
Speaker 2: Want to find out from you if you were to
Speaker 2: take the physical boadroom in the office and compare it
Speaker 2: to the golf course, which one would you say is
Speaker 2: is your most ideal or most prepared space to do
Speaker 2: it to conduct business?
Speaker 4: I feel like you know the answer ready to that, right, look,
Speaker 4: come in. You know golf first, are always saying, you know,
Speaker 4: a bad day on the golf course is still much
Speaker 4: better than any day in the office, right, So, you know,
Speaker 4: golf gives you so much. Golf you get to know
Speaker 4: people better in a very relaxed environment of setting and
Speaker 4: golf being you know, the gentleman's sport, but it is
Speaker 4: it allows you to assess characters. You know, as you're
Speaker 4: building relationship with clients or business associates, of friends or family,
Speaker 4: you get to see how they react to var type
Speaker 4: of situation.
Speaker 5: Right, So.
Speaker 4: You want to learn about, you know, their character, you know,
Speaker 4: to say, how do they manage adversity, How resilient are
Speaker 4: they in terms of taking the bad and the good
Speaker 4: breaks out of golf? You know, you get to see
Speaker 4: whether they are patient. People are very impatient and and
Speaker 4: and because golf, in golf, you are you are your
Speaker 4: own referee, right you You you then get to see
Speaker 4: how people behave in an environment where they are not
Speaker 4: or there's no referee, or there's no someone there's no
Speaker 4: one looking over their shoulder, right, so you have to
Speaker 4: almost sort of regulate and and be able to to
Speaker 4: call penalties on yourself whether anyone is watching or you're
Speaker 4: on your own.
Speaker 5: Right. So when you're observing.
Speaker 4: Someone that you're learning and you're hoping to get into
Speaker 4: business type of transaction with you, you are able to
Speaker 4: gather all that information you know to say how to
Speaker 4: solve problems from just their course management and how they
Speaker 4: go about making you that you save a point or
Speaker 4: you don't get frustrated by going out of.
Speaker 5: Bounds, you know, and golf. I love golf.
Speaker 4: It's part of golf in a sense that it allows
Speaker 4: you to show respect to others, but also not only
Speaker 4: to fellow human beings, but it allows you to demonstrate
Speaker 4: how you show respect to the environment, right. And we
Speaker 4: know how in golf we're always talking about, you know,
Speaker 4: leave the cause in a way that you would like
Speaker 4: to find it right, whether it's repairing pitch marks when
Speaker 4: you're on the green or raking bankers after you've played
Speaker 4: a short, making sure you maintain pace of play for
Speaker 4: the people behind you, you know, So that on its own,
Speaker 4: it demonstrates how orderly of a person you are and
Speaker 4: what consideration you have for the environment, for the other
Speaker 4: So it's it's all of those things when you put
Speaker 4: them all together, right to say, how does this person
Speaker 4: after having such a bad round of gold, does he
Speaker 4: guarantees car and drive home or does it still come,
Speaker 4: you know, back after showering to the nineteenth hole and
Speaker 4: having a child and a conversation with other golfers irrespective
Speaker 4: of how bad the gold the golf was. So you
Speaker 4: you you are able to bundle all of those things
Speaker 4: together and get the intelligence that you want that will
Speaker 4: help you with relationship building. To say, out of the
Speaker 4: four the five hours that I've spent with this man
Speaker 4: on the or this you know lady on the course,
Speaker 4: can I really build a partnership with this person? Can
Speaker 4: I really t trust them with the some of the
Speaker 4: decision making, oh with my business or you know, it
Speaker 4: really teaches you that that almost like the diplomacy, being
Speaker 4: able to have impactful conversations, build trust, build a poor
Speaker 4: and see how people just react, you know, and out
Speaker 4: of that, with those insights, then you you can go
Speaker 4: back to the boathroom and sign on the door, you know,
Speaker 4: on the dot line to say, yes, I'm comfortable I
Speaker 4: can trust this person and they are really honorable, you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: No, one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: I like I like the fact that you mentioned something
Speaker 2: very very critical to say that you spend about four
Speaker 2: to five hours, so you gather a lot of information
Speaker 2: about a particular person that you're playing with. And now
Speaker 2: now now with that being said, I mean in the office, obviously,
Speaker 2: if you were to meet with a client, whether it's
Speaker 2: outside the office or in your office, time is very limited,
Speaker 2: and obviously both of you have to maintain a certain
Speaker 2: level of professionalism, you're not in your relaxed element at
Speaker 2: that point in time. Now with that, with that minds me,
Speaker 2: I just want to find out if you were to
Speaker 2: take the two different worlds right, the work environment as
Speaker 2: well as the golf course, and you you you just
Speaker 2: to name or to mention a few skills that you've
Speaker 2: incorporated in both worlds but are very similar. Or let's say,
Speaker 2: some that you've taken out of the golf course and
Speaker 2: you apply to your role as a transactional banker, and
Speaker 2: some that you've taken from your role and applied them
Speaker 2: onto the golf course. But with the main idea of
Speaker 2: saying that, you know what, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: one needs to make sure that we build a relationship
Speaker 2: on good grounds. You also mentioned, I mean you get
Speaker 2: to understand how people behave, which I believe when it
Speaker 2: comes to relationship building, that's very important. You want to
Speaker 2: understand what makes the next person take, what makes them
Speaker 2: smile as well. So how do you then take the
Speaker 2: two different worlds and then blend them into one to
Speaker 2: make sure that they work for you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Look, and as I mentioned earlier, it's very important. I
Speaker 4: think the lesson that I learned from playing with someone
Speaker 4: are very key in making those decisions whether I want
Speaker 4: to start, continue, or even sometimes end the relationship. You know,
Speaker 4: I've been able to play with some of my clients,
Speaker 4: some of my business partners or even colleagues and my executives,
Speaker 4: and you get to see people's character and how how
Speaker 4: they react to certain things, the type of jokes, what
Speaker 4: makes them take and you have to even learn more
Speaker 4: about the people down outside of the office. But in
Speaker 4: terms of you know, your families and social lives, what
Speaker 4: do people really enjoy And that helps you to say
Speaker 4: in the future, I would know how to how to
Speaker 4: engage with this person should I want to get decisions
Speaker 4: out of them. So for me, I think the the
Speaker 4: I gather almost insights to say, if I was to
Speaker 4: give this person an account, or this person was to
Speaker 4: bank with me and I bring the account over, are
Speaker 4: they trustworthy? You know? Can I trult them? If I
Speaker 4: go and present in front of my my my egregative
Speaker 4: for whoever about tony and balls and teas as a
Speaker 4: as a as a client, would I be you know
Speaker 4: uh uh, you know, convicted and ensure that yes, I
Speaker 4: can bring this account over. And the people that are
Speaker 4: leading this company, are really on about people, right, So
Speaker 4: you learn a lot of things out of golf.
Speaker 5: And I would say there's.
Speaker 4: A lot of things that we do in business in
Speaker 4: both rooms that are very available. But the golf aspect
Speaker 4: of it bring the social aspect, you know, to say,
Speaker 4: we hear you, we know how you react, how you
Speaker 4: stand in front of people, don't as tell them.
Speaker 5: But when you are.
Speaker 4: Wearing shorts and take keys and you're walking for four
Speaker 4: hours and sometimes having a bo two, how how how
Speaker 4: do you behave and and and you know there's other
Speaker 4: things Tony like if I can just give an example,
Speaker 4: I observe even how people treat caddies. You know, we
Speaker 4: many times take a coady to carry our back, show
Speaker 4: us lines and support our balls. But you find many
Speaker 4: people treating kddies horribly and and and not. You know,
Speaker 4: when you when I'm working with you, when I'm treating
Speaker 4: my carry bad, I tend to think you you you
Speaker 4: different and say no, because I'm a fellow player, you'll
Speaker 4: treat me better. No for me, it's it's bad. That
Speaker 4: is a ple of human being. Most of the times
Speaker 4: you find that you know these guys are elder guys,
Speaker 4: and it doesn't matter that he's carrying your back. You
Speaker 4: have no right to try and you know, prove your
Speaker 4: ego on an innocent person who's out there looking to
Speaker 4: make a living. Right, So we have to show spec
Speaker 4: you spect very important to a fellow golf of us,
Speaker 4: to people around, whether it's a marshalut, whether it's a
Speaker 4: it's a cat person who said in drinks so on
Speaker 4: the on the golf course, or someone with you who's
Speaker 4: setting you used bots. You have to be very res
Speaker 4: respectful to people that So for me, those things then
Speaker 4: tend tend to tell me that this is the kind
Speaker 4: of person that I'm going to be dealing with. Emma
Speaker 4: ready to bring these people into my circle of friends
Speaker 4: or second business? And can I really trust them? Because
Speaker 4: you don't want things to happen later in life. And
Speaker 4: you you hear people say, but he Merissa, you brought
Speaker 4: us this person, and you then start having those thoughts.
Speaker 4: I remember them. And on the sixth hole, his ball
Speaker 4: disappeared and he was blaming the kd or he missed
Speaker 4: a part and he was blaming the kddy for the line,
Speaker 4: you know, forgetting that he's the player and met the
Speaker 4: ky you know, it's very important to marry the two
Speaker 4: ways you're saying to say, now that I've seen how
Speaker 4: you behave you know relas from it. When I bring
Speaker 4: you into a formal business or into a formal type
Speaker 4: of setting, I know you better and I know what
Speaker 4: makes you you can Yeah, you know, I like.
Speaker 2: How you actually responded to that, because, like you said,
Speaker 2: the respect is very important and it boils down to
Speaker 2: our African nature as a whole of ubun to say
Speaker 2: I am because of you. So you you being able
Speaker 2: to mention that, you know what, regardless of the status,
Speaker 2: regardless of uh, the age or any other differences that
Speaker 2: we may have, a human being is a human being
Speaker 2: and we need to treat each each other in the
Speaker 2: right manner, which is portraying a sense of respect, portraying
Speaker 2: a sense of love and all. Now that there's something
Speaker 2: that I always tell people that the mode is to
Speaker 2: say that golfers have becuts go for us.
Speaker 3: Especially social golfers.
Speaker 2: Let me not say especially because I've not been exposed
Speaker 2: to professional golf as a lot, but let me say
Speaker 2: social golfers that have interacted with over the past couple
Speaker 2: of years, we've got big huts. And we go with
Speaker 2: us are loving bunch, And there's a lot of things
Speaker 2: that golfers actually do or activities that gods are involved
Speaker 2: in outside the golf course, but they utilize golf to
Speaker 2: make sure that they reach those goals.
Speaker 3: And this goes to this.
Speaker 2: Brings me to speak about some of the activities that
Speaker 2: you are involved in, such as literacy for life and
Speaker 2: golfing for a purpose through the limit. So if you
Speaker 2: can just give us context as to say, what is
Speaker 2: your involvement in those kind of initiatives and what exactly
Speaker 2: is the goal for those initiatives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I mean I'm involved in a few initiatives
Speaker 4: in golf where we we we realize that, you know,
Speaker 4: as much as we love the sport, we can use
Speaker 4: it as a driver to make a change in people's
Speaker 4: lives and especially in an African child's life.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: So, me and a couple of friends, mostly from home
Speaker 4: in the Northwest, we've been having a club. We used
Speaker 4: to call it the Social Club, where we would collect
Speaker 4: money out of our own pockets and find, you know,
Speaker 4: a school or two and go donate maybe ten pairs
Speaker 4: twenty pairs of shoes. A said, when you know, I
Speaker 4: think This goes back a couple of years. But when
Speaker 4: we started playing golf, we realize that golfing community, you know,
Speaker 4: has got a bunch of people who are generous, with
Speaker 4: big hearts and they want to make an impact. So
Speaker 4: about six years ago, me and my friend Cops decided
Speaker 4: to say, let us not throw a big party and
Speaker 4: celebrate our birthdays. And our birthdays happen in January, so
Speaker 4: we said, look, you and I always a bit more
Speaker 4: days together, but this time around, they're not supposed to
Speaker 4: golf Day and try and see if we're able to
Speaker 4: raise funds and use those funds to go make a
Speaker 4: difference back in the community that really de there and
Speaker 4: that's where it started with the Mcare Foundation. So it
Speaker 4: moved from being a social clap of gangs just going
Speaker 4: on trips and hanging around and boozing. We then said, look,
Speaker 4: we've got to fall form a formal NPO which has
Speaker 4: been registered and it is called the Mcare's Foundation. We've
Speaker 4: got about a group of about twenty or eighteen guys
Speaker 4: who are helping with different things.
Speaker 5: Right, we've managed.
Speaker 4: To host, like I said, about six annual golf days.
Speaker 4: The golf Days started in January but later only in life.
Speaker 4: We moved them to around March to accommodate calendars and diaries,
Speaker 4: not to plush and we have been hosting it for
Speaker 4: the last few years at Pickin Root and it's coming
Speaker 4: up again in March next year in Pickin Wood. We
Speaker 4: raise funds and over the last few years we've been
Speaker 4: able to make a real impact. I mean from previously
Speaker 4: being able to school ten to fifteen kids. Now with
Speaker 4: the generosity of the golfers and sponsors that come on
Speaker 4: board with the mccas Foundation on an annual basis, we
Speaker 4: do reach out to about one hundred kids that we
Speaker 4: buy not only shoes, but shoes, socks, hans, skirts, Jazy's
Speaker 4: and Steve Falls and and and stuff. Various schools in
Speaker 4: the Northwest to whether in Baston Back Mafiking, Clagstop Porch
Speaker 4: have benefited from us, and we are looking to grow nationally.
Speaker 4: So you know, we've always posted our social platforms for
Speaker 4: people to come and support them. So that's that's MCAS
Speaker 4: Foundation in US. Hosting our first annual golf day in
Speaker 4: Trine nineteen, we met a good friend who has since
Speaker 4: left us. His name was Advocate Look, so Advocate Maru
Speaker 4: was very passionate about reading, right. He had stories where
Speaker 4: you know, he would run a Congress marathon reading a book.
Speaker 4: He ran two oceans reading a book, and that sparked
Speaker 4: interest from the media and people wanted to know why
Speaker 4: in this man reading a book while he's running an
Speaker 4: ultra marathon, you know. So he Yeah. A year after
Speaker 4: we established Hours, he established a foundation called Literacy for Life.
Speaker 4: And Literacy for Life basically advances literacy in our previously
Speaker 4: Prance communities. You know, we built libraries, we built reading holps.
Speaker 4: We collect books, pre loved books or second books that
Speaker 4: help young kids to get into reading, you know, and
Speaker 4: because we understand that reading takes you to a different world.
Speaker 4: So as a young mind, instead of you know, letting
Speaker 4: the kids run run a wild we give them books.
Speaker 4: We give them access to read about various matters subjects
Speaker 4: and for them to be engaged and for them to
Speaker 4: dream of a better future. So Literacure for Life has
Speaker 4: bill in existence ever since twenty twenty hosted about five
Speaker 4: gold days so far off our services, you know, military
Speaker 4: golf club, but we've now moved to the Bulah in
Speaker 4: the in the Pope. I think that's where you and
Speaker 4: I last met where we had quite a lengthy.
Speaker 5: Nineteenth hole after a long time.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's that's the topic for another day, right,
Speaker 4: So literally for Life is there. Annually Firstory of September
Speaker 4: we host our golf day. We've got a number of
Speaker 4: sponsors that have been partners with us, and we keep
Speaker 4: on calling for more friends, partners and you know, associated
Speaker 4: and people to come. And with Literacy for Life having
Speaker 4: been established by Advocate Maru, who was Rana and a golfer,
Speaker 4: you get a lot of uh. His running body is
Speaker 4: also participating and helping to response for the for the
Speaker 4: foundation through Fat Kids Running Club which he was part of.
Speaker 4: But we myself and Black Cops a calling blaps, we
Speaker 4: are both of the Salem McKay Foundation as well as
Speaker 4: Literacy for Life, raising awareness and making sure that as
Speaker 4: much as we love the sport and we spend a
Speaker 4: lot of our time attending various golf days and and
Speaker 4: and and supporting the golfing community, we are also making
Speaker 4: sure that you know, we make a difference in the
Speaker 4: lives of people who are not as fortunate as.
Speaker 5: You and I. You know, yep.
Speaker 2: Now before we go to our last break, before our
Speaker 2: last TABLEM minus, then would you mind sharing with our
Speaker 2: audience or our listeners contact details? Oh yeah, content details
Speaker 2: for both Telemacare Foundation as well as Litricy for Life.
Speaker 2: Because for me, I find it very useless for people
Speaker 2: to be under one room enjoying themselves while somebody else
Speaker 2: is out there suffering or like you said, being less fortunate.
Speaker 2: So if there's a lot of social golfers out here
Speaker 2: in South Africa, I mean there's over four hundred thousand
Speaker 2: social golfers in South Africa, and I would really really
Speaker 2: like to believe that the majority of them are involved
Speaker 2: in other initiatives whatsoever. But if there's someone out there
Speaker 2: who would like to extend that hand to say, you
Speaker 2: know what, we really really want to be involved in
Speaker 2: Literacy for Life or with the Telemacare Foundation, how can
Speaker 2: we then make our contribution or make sure that we
Speaker 2: are a part of that organization and make a difference
Speaker 2: or in impacting society. How do we then reach out
Speaker 2: to you guys?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we we are available on social platforms, but

Speaker 4: Well, look, I would say live, you know, live live.

Speaker 3: third list, basin or titleist list.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, no longer.
Speaker 5: It's no longer in golf equipment.

Speaker 2: They they've they've they've got a nice feel like you
Speaker 2: don't even feel the ball that the clubs feel the ball.
Speaker 3: You just feel that.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: Now there's a tough one. This one is for the
Speaker 2: records remedies. This one is for the records, right, ok,
Speaker 2: tj or balls and tees.
Speaker 5: Look, I mean you you're putting me in a corner. Heare,
Speaker 5: but bolls and.
Speaker 4: You know all the time this is run by my friends,
Speaker 4: the people are you in tagged with on a daily
Speaker 4: basis to grow the game. I mean, p g PG
Speaker 4: is well short, but bost and tees the wall is
Speaker 4: your oyster.
Speaker 5: I know you guys are we to do great things.
Speaker 4: So I definitely and kids because I want to grow
Speaker 4: with you as a partner and a friend and make
Speaker 4: sure that you know I witnessed this growth and I
Speaker 4: can say I know this young man from a very
Speaker 4: long time ago.
Speaker 3: You know, awesome, awesome.
Speaker 2: You know, if you had said PGA, I was going
Speaker 2: to say, let's end this interview with immediate defect.
Speaker 3: But I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, but.
Speaker 2: It has been such an honor and a pleasure hosting you.
Speaker 2: But you know how we work here at Boons, we
Speaker 2: can't let you go without you sharing something sentimental with
Speaker 2: our audience.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's festive season.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for provinces right now in South Africa going under
Speaker 2: a lot of stress due to thunderstorms and flooding and
Speaker 2: all these things. So it's a very busy time of
Speaker 2: the year. And if you could just share your inputs
Speaker 2: or give inputs with regards to the festive season as
Speaker 2: well as to those who want to get into the
Speaker 2: game and have been confused all along, going from pillar
Speaker 2: to post, not knowing exactly where to start or how
Speaker 2: to start.
Speaker 3: So place, honor us and give us our daily break today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, look, I think if I just start with
Speaker 4: your last the last piece of your question, forget about
Speaker 4: people who are looking to join golf. I think, Look,
Speaker 4: the time is always now right, don't waste any more time.
Speaker 4: Go to beautiful sports. You'll realize that once you start
Speaker 4: getting yourself into it's got a great number of people
Speaker 4: with good hearts, people who are just about playing and
Speaker 4: making a difference. So many people always find burriers to say,
Speaker 4: you know, it's an expensive sport. It's not accessible, the
Speaker 4: equipment is expensive. But I say to them, look, just
Speaker 4: spend time with golf funds. You'll realize that it's not
Speaker 4: as expensive as you think. I mean, I bought my
Speaker 4: first set of clubs many years ago.
Speaker 5: I think I spent less than two thousand.
Speaker 4: I've got a friend of mine who I sent to
Speaker 4: go buy second end clubs at a porn shop. He
Speaker 4: came back with a good looking set, you know, an
Speaker 4: old secondhand or third hand set, which he still uses.
Speaker 4: So if you really want to do and enjoying sport,
Speaker 4: you can enjoy and you don't have to really be,
Speaker 4: you know, an expensive spender, but you can get what
Speaker 4: I would stuff and it. And for new beginners, spend
Speaker 4: time on the on the range, get a professional to
Speaker 4: teach you the basics of golf, and don't ruse to
Speaker 4: get yourself out of the golf course. Just make you
Speaker 4: understand the basics. You can hit the ball straight, it goes.
Speaker 4: You know what's the difference between a driver and a
Speaker 4: pattern and a wedge. And it's a beautiful sport. Once
Speaker 4: we get in, you'll make good friends, you'll make good
Speaker 4: business contacts and build relationships and there is no looking back.
Speaker 4: And I'm just loving how the sport is growing in
Speaker 4: South Africa alone. I know so many people who belong
Speaker 4: to so many golf clubs. Whether you're in African in Pretoria,
Speaker 4: you know West Pretoria, East you are in We were
Speaker 4: playing Secunda the other day with some good golfers that side.
Speaker 4: So the whole country is flooded with US social golfers.
Speaker 4: So we're always looking to get new members to join
Speaker 4: the spot and make it big.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: As for the positive, look a good time for family
Speaker 4: and relax time. Many companies will be closing, people will
Speaker 4: be taking time off to go home with the loved ones.
Speaker 4: So we're just gonna say, you know, everyone who's going
Speaker 4: to be on the roads, please travel safely, take care.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of excitement around this time of the year.
Speaker 4: People must just take it easy, relax and have good,
Speaker 4: clean fun with your loved ones. Right, And we pray
Speaker 4: that as much as we love the rain, we want
Speaker 4: it because it helps with a lot of things both

Speaker 4: lives of others who may not be as advantage right,
