CPHA CPHA HITS THE LONG DRIVES FOR THE INDUSTRY By Benjamin Brits • Photos by Benjamin Brits The Contractors Plant Hire Association (CPHA) held its 29th annual Gauteng golf day recently, with participants from across the sector. P lant Equipment & Hire attended the golf day held in October at the ERPM Golf Course in Boksburg, Johannesburg, where players enjoyed a sun-filled day of fun and networking with company members and clients. Fifteen teams had the opportunity to tackle the day with a variety of activities at the sponsored holes, from a tee-off from the top of a special custom made tee-box container, refreshing drinks with a dash of Tabasco sauce, shooters and even some ‘Happy Gilmore style’ drives. Although participation at this year’s event was slightly down from previous years, this is just a temporary indication of where the economy is in its cycle, and industry members putting extra effort into their day-to-day business. 34 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020 The CPHA team welcomed teams to the annual golf day.
