Driving Home XDL Champions & Growing the Sport of Xtreme Drivers

The emerging sport of Xtreme Drivers (Long Drive) drove full swing into 2021 with the thanks to JP Liebenberg - owner of Cavalier Homes (Waikato). JP is major sponsor to the New Zealand Long Blacks and the North & South Island (New Zealand XDL Championship 2021 & 2022). You will see two logos popping up in advertising as JP is owner of New Horizon Construction. “It’s always hard to promote a National Brand when a regional owner is in two feet to sponsor and the other regions aren’t keen, hence we have included the New Horizon Construction to ensure our marketing connects JP’s brands as a collective”. Says Olna Ford, founder and CEO of XDL. The NEW direction for the sport of XDL is to create and implement the framework to grow the sport of Long Drive at grassroots level whilst the professional league of XDL has major events and tours focus . The 16 regions and the zones of New Zealand are a strong focus for Olna as her company is NSO for the sport. More events and public engagements will be seen in 2022 with plans for a range of XDR products and services to be launched in time for the XDL Grid to be launched with OPTISHOT (USA) this September. The XDL virtual tour championship will showcase the New Zealand designed grid that OPTISHOT software gurus have uploaded . The XDL virtual tour championship will have a live leaderboard on the IGANZ website www.iganz.co.nz from January 2022. With all this excitement for the sport and players, Olna praises her sponsor JP Liebenberg for believing in the sport and the vision to grow the business that ultimately is creating the opportunities for the players both in New Zealand and globally. The New Zealand Long Blacks uniform will be revealed in August 2021 with JP’s New Horizon Construction (logo) proudly seen.
